Host-independent persistence of the Diadema antillarum Scuticociliatosis Philaster clade in coastal environments

Michael W. Henson, Axel Leon-Rodriguez, Christopher M. DeRito…·Ian Hewson

The paper investigates the environmental persistence of the pathogenic ciliate DaScPc outside its host, finding it persists in reef environments independently of D. antillarum and may follow a cryptic 'boom-and-bust' cycle.
