Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “For example, the severity of at least three coral diseases is linked with nutrient concentrations [25,32,75], whereas the frequency of others, like white syndrome, is greatest on remote reefs in highly oligotrophic waters [30].”
Coral Disease on the Great Barrier Reef (2004, background): “Seasonal increases in the prevalence of BBD on reefs in the Caribbean region are related to high summer seawater temperatures, but may also be related to water depth, coral diversity, population density and elevated nutrients ( Kuta and Richardson 1996, 2002; Bruckner and Bruckner 1997; Bruckner et”
Strong relationship between coral bleaching and growth anomalies in massive Porites (2009, methodology): “The model without bleaching intensity is more typical of previous studies where water quality and temperature or aspects of the benthic communities have been the focus (Kuta & Richardson, 2002; Bruno et al., 2007).”
Temperature affects coral disease resistance and pathogen growth (2007, background): “In particular, some coral disease outbreaks are associated with temperature warming, from either seasonal or temperature anomalies (Harvell et al. 2001, Kuta & Richardson 2002, Jones 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): “Some of the references that are cited to support this involve studies that: (1) have a small sample size (e.g., number of coral colonies— Kuta and Richardson 2002, Muller et al. 2008), (2) involve sampling over only a portion of the year, mostly in summer (Santavy et al. 2001), or (3) pertain to on”
Temporal variability and impact of coral diseases and bleaching in La Parguera, Puerto Rico from 2003–2007 (2009, background): “…responsible for BBD is more prevalent on corals subjected to anthropogenic stress compared to colonies in healthy reefs (Taylor 1983; Antonius 1985; Kuta & Richardson 2002), and correlative studies suggest that the incidence and severity of certain diseases increase under high nutrient…”
Deciphering Coral Disease Dynamics: Integrating Host, Microbiome, and the Changing Environment (2020, background): “For instance, while many field studies correlated black band disease with seasonally warmer temperatures (Kuta and Richardson, 2002; Voss and Richardson, 2006; Sato et al., 2009), a laboratory experiment tested the interaction between temperature and light on black band disease progression rates and”
Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals (2004, background): “…the pathogenic process, or (4) increase the rate of disease transmission (Kushmaro et al. 1996, 1998, Peters 1997, Toren et al. 1998, Ben-Haim et al. 1999, 2003b, Alker et al. 2001, Banin et al. 2001a, Israely et al. 2001, Ben-Haim & Rosenberg 2002, Kuta & Richardson 2002, Richardson & Kuta 2003).”
Elevated temperature and light enhance progression and spread of black band disease on staghorn corals of the Great Barrier Reef (2007, background): “of coral disease during summer months on reefs in both the Caribbean (Bruckner and Bruckner 1997; Porter et al. 2001; Kuta and Richardson 2002) and the Great Barrier Reef (Willis et al.”
Nutrient enrichment can increase the severity of coral diseases (2003, background): “Correlative evidence suggests that environmental factors such as nutrient availability, temperature and rainfall could affect the severity of animal and human diseases (Kim & Powell 1998; Harvell et al. 1999; Lenihan et al. 1999; Pascual et al. 2000; Kim & Harvell 2002; Kuta & Richardson 2002).”
Nutrient enrichment enhances black band disease progression in corals (2006, background): “They concluded, however, that the increased nitrite concentration may have been a result of microbial metabolic processes within the black band consortium itself, such as incomplete reduction of nitrate (Kuta and Richardson 2002).”
Bacterial communities inhabiting the healthy tissues of two Caribbean reef corals: interspecific and spatial variation (2005, background): “…of coral disease, fluctuations in local environmental conditions, and difficulty identifying and quantifying numerous potentially controlling factors, the relationship between coral disease and environmental quality remains a debated issue (Bruckner and Bruckner 1999; Kuta and Richardson 2002).”
