Coral disease represents a massive threat to coral reefs around the globe. This dissertation focuses on white band disease (WBD), an epizootic responsible for the near eradication of two important reef-building Caribbean corals, Acropora cervicornis and Acropora palmata. The worsening effect of WBD and coral disease in general necessitates an increased understanding of the ecology and genomics of coral-associated microbes. The following studies explore the microbial
community structure of diseased corals and the mechanisms of pathogenesis.
