Increased prevalence of ubiquitous ascomycetes in an acropoid coral (Acropora formosa) exhibiting symptoms of brown band syndrome and skeletal eroding band disease
Article Abstract:
The prevalence of coral-associated fungi is shown to be higher in diseased Acropora formosa colonies than in health colonies. Taxonomically related fungi species are isolated from diseased healthy colonies, which have indicated that their association with coral might be constitutive but that their abundance is dependent on coral health.

Relationship of Vibrio species infection and elevated temperatures to yellow blotch/band disease in Caribbean corals
Article Abstract:
The effects of temperature and inoculation with exogenous Vibrio strains on the division rates of zooxanthella symbionts are described. The result of this is low symbiont densities and decreased chlorophyll concentrations in the corals.
