Climate change and disease: bleaching of a chemically defended seaweed (2011, background): “One high profile example of marine disease comes from tropical reefs, where diverse microbial pathogens are contributing to widespread coral bleaching and the subsequent decline of these important habitat-forming organisms (e.g. Ainsworth et al., 2007; Harvell et al., 2001).”
Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals (2004, background): “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 &…”
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).”
ARE DISEASES INCREASING IN THE OCEAN (2004, background): “Elevated sea surface temperature from El Niño events is a common explanation for coral bleaching (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999, Williams & Bunkley-Williams 1990), and such a rise in temperature could increase coral susceptibility to infectious diseases (Harvell et al. 2001).”
Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands (2009, background): “A combination of bleaching and disease in 1998 caused extensive mortality of the octocoral, Briareum asbestinum, in the Florida Keys (Harvell et al. 2001).”
Parasitism, climate oscillations and the structure of natural communities (2002, background): “…NAO; high temperatures; temperature-[3] Marine rocky Host population and subtidal dependent parasite development community structure Host population Harvell et al. (2001), Wilson et al.E.g. virus ENSO; high temperatures; temperature-Coastal Corals (2001)dependent parasite outbreak [4] Coastal…”
Dynamics of a temperature-related coral disease outbreak (2004, background): “Mortality in gorgonians Briareum asbestinum during a bleaching event in the Florida Keys has been attributed to a disease rather than the bleaching stress itself (Harvell et al. 2001).”
Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “A positive effect of high temperature on the severity of coral disease outbreaks might be caused by physiological stress impairing host immunity [8,38,39].”
Patterns of spread of coral disease in the Florida Keys (2001, background): “The El Nino related bleaching and epizootic among Briareum asbestinum fits this model well in that the soft coral mortality (65% of all colonies), occurred immediately following the 1998–1999 bleaching event (Harvell et al., 2001).”
Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “Similarly, during the 1997/1998 El Niño, diseases and tissue sloughing resulted in substantial mortality to octocorals (Cerrano et al. 2000, Harvell et al. 2001, Lasker 2005).”
