Strong relationship between coral bleaching and growth anomalies in massive Porites (2009, background): “Coral bleaching and diseases are rapidly emerging problems on coral reefs (Harvell et al., 1999, 2004; Hoegh-Guldberg, 1999; Porter et al., 2001; Rosenberg & Loya, 2004; Weil et al., 2006; Lesser et al., 2007), and becoming the predominant threats to their ecological health (McClanahan, 2002; Weil,…”
Elevated temperature and light enhance progression and spread of black band disease on staghorn corals of the Great Barrier Reef (2007, background): “As highlighted previously, stress has been implicated as a potential enhancer of coral disease prevalence because compromised coral health reduces resistance to disease infections (Peters 1997; Porter and Tougas 2001 ).”
Is There a Relationship between Proximity to Sewage Effluent and the Prevalence of Coral Disease (2005, background): “The gross morphology of the rods appeared to be the same as the pathogen identified in the white plague type II outbreak in Florida coral reefs (Richardson 2001, pers. comm.).”
Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals (2004, methodology): “Epizootics have been reported for several coral species (Goreau et al. 1998, Richardson 1998, Richardson et al. 1998a,b, Harvell et al. 1999, 2001, Porter et al. 2001) and evidence is mounting of substantial declines in the biodiversity and abundance of reef-building corals worldwide (Hayes &…”
Algal contact as a trigger for coral disease (2004, background): “Halimeda holds potent secondary metabolites used to deter grazing ( Paul & van Alstyne 1992 ).”
Nutrient enrichment can increase the severity of coral diseases (2003, background): “Yellow band disease and aspergillosis were first reported in the mid-1990s (Nagelkerken et al. 1997; Santavy et al. 1999).”
Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “In the Florida Keys, coral bleaching and increased disease prevalence associated with this event reduced stony coral cover by ~40% between 1996 and 1999 (Porter et al. 2001, Somerfield et al. 2008, Ruzicka et al. 2010).”
Pathogenesis of a Tissue Loss Disease Affecting Multiple Species of Corals Along the Florida Reef Tract (2019, background): “…susceptible to tissue loss diseases based on field patterns of disease prevalence (Willis et al., 2004; Aeby et al., 2011, 2015) including in Florida species (Porter et al., 2001; Santavy et al., 2001), and with direct inoculation of known coral pathogens in the laboratory (Ushijima et al., 2014).”
Nutrient enrichment enhances black band disease progression in corals (2006, background): “Concurrent with losses in coral cover there have been dramatic increases in the number, frequency, geographic distribution, and host range of coral diseases (Richardson 1998; Harvell et al. 1999; Porter et al. 2001; Richardson and Aronson 2002; Sutherland et al. 2004; Weil 2004).”
Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “The general increase in coral disease prevalence and the emergence of several new coral diseases over the last two decades [20,82,83] could also have been caused in part by thermal anomalies.”
Effect of nutrient enrichment and elevated CO2 partial pressure on growth rate of Atlantic scleractinian coral Acropora cervicornis (2005, background): “…(and A. palmata) have been blamed mainly on coral diseases, local eutrophication may have played a role by increasing coral stress, resulting in increased disease susceptibility and severity (Aronson & Precht 1997, Aronson et al. 1998, Porter et al. 2001, Patterson et al. 2002, Bruno et al. 2003).”
Disease transmission of aspergillosis in sea fans: Inferring process from spatial pattern (2002, background): “At least 15 new diseases of corals have been recorded in the last decade (Richardson et al. 1998, Harvell et al. 1999, Porter et al. 2001), yet the causative agent is only known for three of these diseases (Richardson et al. 1998), and in no cases have quantitative epidemiological methods been…”
