Statement of Interest

I am interested in the long term effects of coral diseases in the populations of the scleractinian corals, and in the differences in resistance(if any) to the causative agent of the disease of different genotypic populations of the hosts. Actually my work is concentrated on the white plague type II disease in the reefs of Florida (Key Largo) and the Bahamas (Lee stocking Island)
