attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	Sampling and Analytical Methodology: Sixteen 20 square-meter band transects were randomly laid (4 transects per depth) at two reefs in La Parguera, PR, Media Luna (3 to 18 m depths) and Buoy (18 to 25 m depths). Surveys occurred annually in September or October from 2006 to 2010 at Media Luna and 2007 to 2010 at Buoy. Along each transect all apparently healthy G. ventalina colonies and colonies with lesions were enumerated. Any purple or abnormally colored area on the sea fans was checked carefully. Lesions were also recorded and described as follows: large irregular purple spots (aspergillosis-like; full description Work and Aeby 2006), MFPS, predation, bleaching, and other abnormalities. Other abnormalities included growth anomalies, cyanobacteria, red band disease etc. Signs of predation by snails (flamingo tongue) and by fireworms were noted,. Prevalence (the total number of each abnormality divided by the total number of individuals) of each type of abnormality was calculated per transect, depth, and year.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). Coral reef ecosystems are highly endangered by recent increases in temperature and by projected increases in ocean acidification. Although temperature has been identified as a driver of some coral disease outbreaks, nothing is known about direct effects of acidification on host immunity and pathogen virulence, or the potential for synergism with temperature. Natural coral populations often suffer from simultaneous infection by multiple pathogens that can also influence host immune responses, but co-infection dynamics have not been investigated in invertebrate systems lacking classical adaptive immunity. Changing climate will very likely influence the outcome of single and co-infection. This project will investigate the influence of environmental stress on co-infection dynamics of the sea fan coral, Gorgonia ventalina, with a fungal pathogen, Aspergillus sydowii and a protist parasite, SPX. The goal is to identify the mechanisms through which multiple infections, temperature and acidification modify host resistance, leading to changes in within- and among-colony rates of disease spread. The objectives of this project are to: (1) Identify incidence and co-infection frequency of Aspergillus sydowii and SPX. Detailed field surveys of the two diseases will test the hypothesis that co-infection is significant, provide valuable information about drivers of aspergillosis, and will help to characterize an emerging new sea fan disease. (2) Investigate how co-infection influences sea fan susceptibility, resistance, and within host disease dynamics. Through manipulative lab inoculation experiments we will test the hypothesis that single infections increase susceptibility to a second pathogen. (3) Examine the effects of temperature increase and ocean acidification on pathogen virulence, on underlying host resistance, and on the dynamics of single and co-infections. The hypotheses that acidification will increase pathogen virulence and host susceptibility will be tested in a temperature and pH controlled experimental system. This system will also allow the potential synergistic effects of temperature and acidification on host immunity and co-infection dynamics to be explored. The primary intellectual merit of the proposed work will be a greater understanding of how changing climate mediates co-infection and immunity in a non-model invertebrate. While fungal pathogens are primarily opportunistic, labyrinthulid protozoans are recognized as primary pathogens in shellfish. Even in shellfish, little is known about co-infections involving labyrinthulids, and these protists are entirely unstudied in corals.
