How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Biodiversity of Vibrios (2004, background): “, the paling or the loss of color due to the disruption of symbiosis between the coral host and symbiotic Zooxanthellae, is one of the most serious diseases affecting corals worldwide (332, 370), although it is sometimes reversible in 3 to 6 months (48, 83, 308, 322, 323, 370).”
Pathogenesis of a Tissue Loss Disease Affecting Multiple Species of Corals Along the Florida Reef Tract (2019, background): “This scenario is exemplified by yellow band disease and black band disease, which both require a mixture of multiple bacterial strains to initiate disease (Richardson, 2004; Cervino et al., 2008).”
Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands (2009, background): “Coral disease is now considered one of the greatest threats to coral reefs and has been a significant cause of reef degradation throughout the world (Rosenberg and Loya 2004).”
Nutrient enrichment enhances black band disease progression in corals (2006, background): “Infectious diseases of corals are now recognized as significant contributors to the degradation observed in coral communities, particularly on Caribbean reefs (Rosenberg and Loya 2004).”
