Temperate and filamentous bacteriophages as reservoirs of bacterial virulence in stony coral tissue loss disease

Bailey A. Wallace, Lydia Baker, Erin Papke, Blake Ushijima, Stephanie Rosales, Cynthia B. Silveira

The paper identifies bacteriophages in stony coral tissue loss disease that carry virulence genes, suggesting lysogenic conversion may contribute to bacterial pathogenesis in corals.
