Climate warming and disease risks for terrestrial and marine biotaC Drew Harvell
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
Science 296:2158-62. 2002..To improve our ability to predict epidemics in wild populations, it will be necessary to separate the independent and interactive effects of multiple climate drivers on disease impact...
Within-host disease ecology in the sea fan Gorgonia ventalina: modeling the spatial immunodynamics of a coral-pathogen interactionStephen P Ellner
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA

Peroxidase activity and inducibility in the sea fan coral exposed to a fungal pathogenLaura D Mydlarz
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853 USA
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 146:54-62. 2007..ventalina utilizes these enzymes as an integral component in disease resistance pathways. As such, they may also contribute to the initiation of physiochemical defenses such as melanization and lipid soluble anti-fungal metabolites...
Coral-associated bacterial assemblages: current knowledge and the potential for climate-driven impactsMorgan E Mouchka
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
Integr Comp Biol 50:662-74. 2010..We suggest that the relationship between coral and their bacterial associates represents a valuable model that can be applied to the broader discipline of invertebrate-microbial interactions...
Globally panmictic population structure in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus sydowiiKrystal L Rypien
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Dale R Corson Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
Mol Ecol 17:4068-78. 2008..This study highlights the challenge in distinguishing between the role of environment in allowing opportunistic pathogens to increase and actual introductions of new pathogenic microorganisms for coral diseases...
The rise and fall of a six-year coral-fungal epizooticKiho Kim
Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC 20016 8007, USA
Am Nat 164:S52-63. 2004..However, a change in any of a number of factors, for example, recruitment of naive hosts, rate of pathogen input, or environmental conditions (water quality and temperature), is likely to promote reemergence of the epizootic...
Longitudinal study of aspergillosis in sea fan coralsKiho Kim
Department of Biology, American University, 4400 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20016, USA
Dis Aquat Organ 69:95-9. 2006..During an outbreak at Carysfort, mortality was 95% yr(-1) among diseased sea fans. These data clearly demonstrate the significant role aspergillosis plays in the population ecology of sea fan corals...

Thermal stress and coral cover as drivers of coral disease outbreaksJohn F Bruno
Department of Marine Sciences, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America
PLoS Biol 5:e124. 2007..Our results indicate that the frequency of temperature anomalies, which is predicted to increase in most tropical oceans, can increase the susceptibility of corals to disease, leading to outbreaks where corals are abundant...
Porites ulcerative white spot disease: description, prevalence, and host range of a new coral disease affecting Indo-Pacific reefsLaurie J H Raymundo
Silliman University Marine Laboratory, Dumaguete City 6200, Philippines
Dis Aquat Organ 56:95-104. 2003..Poritids are dominant Indo-Pacific reef builders; a disease targeting this genus could cause major shifts in community structure over time. This report contributes to the limited knowledge of PUWS impacts in this region...
Cellular responses in sea fan corals: granular amoebocytes react to pathogen and climate stressorsLaura D Mydlarz
Department of Biology, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas, United States of America
PLoS ONE 3:e1811. 2008..In the Caribbean sea fan corals (Anthozoa, Alcyonacea: Gorgoniidae), the cell-based immune defenses are granular acidophilic amoebocytes, which are known to be involved in wound repair and histocompatibility...
