Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in 2014 near Virginia Key in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Field sampling, lab experiments, and modeling approaches have suggested that reef sediments may play a role in SCTLD transmission, though ...

Changing Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Dynamics Through Time in Montastraea cavernosa

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is affecting corals across the Western Atlantic and displays species-specific and regional differences in prevalence, incidence, degree of mortality, and lesion morphology.

The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi-Omics: Multi-Omics Provides the Tools to Understand the Complex Molecular Basis of Coral Bleaching, Which Can Aid Conservation Efforts. [PDF]

Bioessays
Coral bleaching is driven by multiple inputs, with heat stress and/or high irradiance being most important. The bleaching response is multifactorial with host animal species/strain and algal symbiont genotypes being critical features. Omics readout of heat stress responses includes gene expression, proteomics, metabolite, and SNP data with transcript ...

Experimental antibiotic treatment identifies potential pathogens of white band disease in the endangered Caribbean coral Acropora cervicornis [PDF]

, 2014
Coral diseases have been increasingly reported over the past few decades and are a major contributor to coral decline worldwide. The Caribbean, in particular, has been noted as a hotspot for coral disease, and the aptly named white syndromes have caused ...

3D Photogrammetry Reveals Dynamics of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) Lesion Progression Across a Thermal Stress Event

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in the United States Virgin Islands in January 2019 on a reef at Flat Cay off the island of St. Thomas. A year after its emergence, the disease had spread to several reefs around St.

Association of butterflyfishes and stony coral tissue loss disease in the Florida Keys [PDF]

Coral Reefs, 2020
AbstractSince 2014, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has rapidly spread throughout the Florida reef tract infecting and killing dozens of coral species. Previous studies have found that corallivorous fishes, such as butterflyfishes, are positively correlated with coral disease prevalence at both local and regional scales. This study investigates

Fine Scale Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak Within the Lower Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
One of the latest threats to Florida’s Coral Reef is the stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak which affects all but a few Caribbean scleractinian species and has spread throughout the Caribbean since 2014. Without a known pathogen, ecological

Evaluating the spread of stony coral tissue loss disease in the Bay Islands, Honduras

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Scleractinian corals, considered key reef ecosystem engineers, have suffered irreparable damage over the last decades, with causes widely attributed directly and indirectly to increased human pressure on coral communities. Stony coral tissue loss disease

Characterisation of the bacterial and fungal communities associated with different lesion sizes of Dark Spot Syndrome occurring in the Coral Stephanocoenia intersepta [PDF]

, 2013
The number and prevalence of coral diseases/syndromes are increasing worldwide. Dark Spot Syndrome (DSS) afflicts numerous coral species and is widespread throughout the Caribbean, yet there are no known causal agents.

Gene Expression Response to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Transmission in M. cavernosa and O. faveolata From Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Since 2014, corals within Florida’s Coral Reef have been dying at an unprecedented rate due to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). Here we describe the transcriptomic outcomes of three different SCTLD transmission experiments performed at the ...
