Molecular evidence for cosmopolitan distribution of platyhelminth parasites of tunas (Thunnus spp.) (2007, background): “The outer hulls of ships provide vectors for introductions of various species as well as their parasites (Ruiz et al. 2000; Lafferty et al. 2004).”

Vulnerability of national economies to the impacts of climate change on fisheries (2009, background): “2008); (ii) impacts on other food production sectors that affect people’s livelihoods and food security (Rosegrant and Cline 2003), and (iii) impacts on aspects of people’s lives unrelated to their economic activities, such as diseases or damage to their homes (Kovats et al. 2003; Lafferty et al. 20”
Mass mortalities of Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas reflect infectious diseases and vary with farming practices in the Mediterranean Thau lagoon, France (2012, background): “Photo: Patrik Le Gall Aquacult Environ Interact 2: 215–237, 2012 2002, Lafferty et al. 2004, Mydlarz et al. 2006).”
The ecology and emergence of diseases in fresh waters (2011, background): “on marine and terrestrial environments have reported evidence of increasing infections in some, but not all examined taxa (Harvell et al., 1999; Epstein, 2001; Anderson et al., 2004; Lafferty et al., 2004).”
Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands (2009, background): “High-water temperatures can influence coral disease by either increasing pathogenic abundance or virulence (Rosenberg and Ben-Haim 2002), or by increasing coralhost susceptibility (Lesser et al. 2007; Ainsworth et al. 2008).”
Is Marine Mammal Health Deteriorating? Trends in the Global Reporting of Marine Mammal Disease (2007, background): “However, whether the increase in reports represents a real and widespread degeneration in the health of marine life is unclear (Harvell et al., 1999; Lafferty et al., 2004; Ward and Lafferty, 2004).”
Impacts of climate change in a global hotspot for temperate marine biodiversity and ocean warming (2011, background): “…concern globally that predicted warming and other anthropogenic stressorsmay increase the spreadof pathogens and enhance their virulence as well as decrease the resilience of host organisms including sea urchins (Lester et al., 2007) and macroalgae (Jackson et al., 2001; Lafferty et al., 2004).”
Thermodependent bacterial pathogens and mass mortalities in temperate benthic communities: a new case of emerging disease linked to climate change (2007, background): “Environmental changes associated to climate warming have been invoked to explain the rising rate of diseases and mortalities in marine biota (Harvell et al., 2002; Rosenberg & Ben-Haim, 2002; Lafferty et al., 2004).”
Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “the limit of their thermal tolerance (Würsig et al., 2002; Lafferty et al., 2004) † Increase of mass mortality events like morbillivirus that affected Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) (Aguilar & Raga, 1993; Cebrian, 1995; Harvell”
