Infectious diseases are common in marine environments, but the effects of a changing climate on marine pathogens are not well understood. Here we review current knowledge about how the climate drives host-pathogen interactions and infectious disease outbreaks. Climate-related impacts on marine diseases are being documented in corals, shellfish, finfish, and humans; these impacts are less clearly linked for other organisms. Oceans and people are inextricably linked, and marine diseases can both…

Strategies for managing marine disease

Abstract The incidence of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) has increased in wildlife populations in recent years and is expected to continue to increase with global environmental change. Marine…

Managing marine disease emergencies in an era of rapid change

Recent increases in the awareness of the threats posed by marine diseases may lead to policy frameworks that facilitate the responses and management that marine disease emergencies require.

As examples of climate's influence on parasitism increase, they enable generalizations of expected responses as well as insight into useful study approaches, such as thermal performance curves that compare the vital rates of hosts and parasites when exposed to several temperatures across a gradient.

Effects of Infectious Diseases on Population Dynamics of Marine Organisms in Chesapeake Bay

Diseases are important drivers of population and ecosystem dynamics. This review synthesizes the effects of infectious diseases on the population dynamics of nine species of marine organisms in the…

Climate Change and Infectious Diseases: From Evidence to a Predictive Framework

This review highlights research progress and gaps that have emerged during the past decade and develops a predictive framework that integrates knowledge from ecophysiology and community ecology with modeling approaches to mitigate the impacts of climate-driven disease emergence.

Effects of climate change on parasites and disease in estuarine and nearshore environments

It is advocated that quantification and comparison of host and parasite thermal performance curves is a smart approach to improve predictions of temperature effects on disease, and climate change–disease interactions in nearshore marine environments are complex.

Projections of climate conditions that increase coral disease susceptibility and pathogen abundance and virulence

Climate model projections of temperature conditions that will increase coral susceptibility to disease, pathogen abundance and pathogen virulence and identify priority locations to reduce stress caused by local human activities and test management interventions to reduce disease impacts are presented.

Alteration of host-pathogen interactions in the wake of climate change - Increasing risk for shellfish associated infections?

Introduction to the Symposium: Parasites and Pests in Motion: Biology, Biodiversity and Climate Change.

This symposium was to bring together researchers working on a wide variety of natural enemies (parasites, pathogens, and pests), to exchange knowledge on how aspects of global climate change may alter the distribution and ecology of these organisms and their hosts.

Anthropogenic impacts on an oyster metapopulation: Pathogen introduction, climate change and responses to natural selection

Oysters in Delaware Bay have responded differently to each pathogen, and uniquely to MSX disease by developing a highly resistant baywide population not documented in any other bay, which has implications for restoration, management and recovery of diseased populations.

Indirect evidence exists that warming increased disease in turtles, and protection, pollution, and terrestrial pathogens increased mammal disease, and release from overfished predators increased sea urchin disease.

Prevalence of unhealthy corals, i.e. those with signs of known diseases or with other signs of compromised health, exceeded 10% on many reefs and ranged to over 50% on some and regional warm temperature anomalies were strongly correlated with high disease prevalence.
