Similarities and Differences Between Two Deadly Caribbean Coral Diseases: White Plague and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
For several decades, white plagues (WPDs: WPD-I, II and III) and more recently, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) have significantly impacted Caribbean corals.

Progressive chronic tissue loss disease in Siderastrea siderea on Florida's coral reef. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has devastated numerous species of corals across the Western Atlantic but one reef coral, Siderastrea siderea, displays unusual tissue loss lesions. We examined the dynamics of lesions in S.

Assessment of nutrient amendments on stony coral tissue loss disease in Southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
Florida’s coral reefs are facing a multi-year outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) with dramatic consequences for coral communities. However, potential anthropogenic and environmental drivers of SCTLD progression and severity remain poorly

Effectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Since 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has led to mass mortality of the majority of hard coral species on the Florida Reef Tract. Following the successful treatment of SCTLD lesions on laboratory corals using water dosed with antibiotics, two topical pastes were developed as vehicles to directly apply antibiotic ...

Frequent coral disease interventions reduces tissue loss [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Stony coral tissue loss disease is a highly contagious coral disease, causing rapid colony mortality and local extinctions. Conducting disease interventions on all corals in a region during an outbreak is virtually impossible, therefore, intervention ...

Novel metagenomics analysis of stony coral tissue loss disease. [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda)
Abstract Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has devastated coral reefs off the coast of Florida and continues to spread throughout the Caribbean. Although a number of bacterial taxa have consistently been associated with SCTLD, no pathogen has been definitively implicated in the etiology of SCTLD.

Stony coral tissue loss disease indirectly alters reef communities. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Many Caribbean coral reefs are near collapse due to various threats. An emerging threat, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), is spreading across the Western Atlantic and Caribbean. Data from the U.S. Virgin Islands reveal how SCTLD spread has reduced the abundance of susceptible coral and crustose coralline algae and increased cyanobacteria, fire ...

Experimental transmission of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease results in differential microbial responses within coral mucus and tissue. [PDF]

ISME Commun, 2022
Abstract Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a widespread and deadly disease that affects nearly half of Caribbean coral species. To understand the microbial community response to this disease, we performed a disease transmission experiment on US Virgin Island (USVI) corals, exposing six species of coral with varying ...

A rapid spread of the stony coral tissue loss disease outbreak in the Mexican Caribbean. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Caribbean reef corals have experienced unprecedented declines from climate change, anthropogenic stressors and infectious diseases in recent decades. Since 2014, a highly lethal, new disease, called stony coral tissue loss disease, has impacted many reef-coral species in Florida.

Investigating microbial size classes associated with the transmission of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Effective treatment and prevention of any disease necessitates knowledge of the causative agent, yet the causative agents of most coral diseases remain unknown, in part due to the difficulty of distinguishing the pathogenic microbe(s) among the complex microbial backdrop of coral hosts.
