- Algal contact as a trigger for coral disease (2004, background): “Since then, this disease has spread throughout the Caribbean and affected most coral species (Nugues 2002; Weil et al. 2002; Miller et al. 2003).”
- Coral disease prevalence and coral health in the Wakatobi Marine Park, south-east Sulawesi, Indonesia (2007, background): “Diseases may threaten the whole reef framework in the Indo-Pacific as has happened in the Carribbean (Nugues, 2002).”
- Size matters: bleaching dynamics of the coral Oculina patagonica (2005, background): “Supporting this hypothesis are the descriptions of other coral diseases, e.g. white-band and white plague, in which the diseases frequently started at the base of the colony, the point of contact with the substrate (Gladfelter 1982, Nugues 2002).”
- Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals (2004, background): “Highest disease prevalence was recorded for Diploria labyrinthiformis (47% of colonies affected) in Puerto Rico (Bruckner & Bruckner 1997a) and for Montastraea faveolata (19% of colonies affected) and Colpophyllia natans (13% of colonies affected) in St. Lucia (Nugues 2002).”
- Pathogenesis of a Tissue Loss Disease Affecting Multiple Species of Corals Along the Florida Reef Tract (2019, background): “It is likely that smaller colonies, once infected, would have higher mortality rates as has been reported for other disease outbreaks (Nugues, 2002), although this was not found for diseased M. cavernosa at Fort Lauderdale.”
