Seagrass wasting disease varies with salinity and depth in natural Zostera marina populations

Overall, the results show that seagrass wasting disease is common in natural Z. marina populations in the study area and that it increases with salinity and decreases with depth, and it is suggested that low salinity areas can act as a refuge against seaglassed wasting disease.

Modulation of the Eelgrass – Labyrinthula zosterae Interaction Under Predicted Ocean Warming, Salinity Change and Light Limitation

This work supports the idea that contemporary L. zosterae isolates neither represent an immediate risk for eelgrass beds in the Baltic Sea, nor a future one under the predicted salinity decrease and warming of theBaltic Sea.

Complex Interactions of Temperature, Light and Tissue Damage on Seagrass Wasting Disease in Zostera marina

It is shown that individual or interactive effects of light, temperature and tissue damage can affect multiple aspects of host-pathogen interactions in seagrasses and highlights the complexity of marine host- Pathogen systems.

Seagrass wasting disease along a naturally occurring salinity gradient

The results indicate that some strains of L. zosterae may adapt to low salinity, and therefore there may also be a risk of wasting disease outbreaks in low-salinity eelgrass meadows, in contrast to what so far has been the general hypothesis.

Seagrass Wasting Disease Impact of abiotic factors and chemical defense

It is suggested that low salinity areas can act as a refuge against seagrass wasting disease, however, in contrast to previous studies, salinities as low as 6 PSU do not always exclude infection in Z. marina meadows.
