Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Marine Diseases--Climate Links and Anthropogenic Factors
C. D. Harvell,Kiho Kim,Kiho Kim,JoAnn M. Burkholder,Rita R. Colwell,Rita R. Colwell,Paul R. Epstein,D. J. Grimes,Eileen E. Hofmann,Erin K. Lipp,Albert D. M. E. Osterhaus,Robin M. Overstreet,James Porter,Garriet W. Smith,Gerardo R. Vasta +14 more
TL;DR: A dramatic global increase in the severity of coral bleaching in 1997-98 is coincident with high El Niño temperatures, which climate-mediated, physiological stresses may compromise host resistance and increase frequency of opportunistic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Mammals as Sentinel Species for Oceans and Human Health
TL;DR: The long-term consequences of climate change and potential environmental degradation are likely to include aspects of disease emergence in marine plants and animals, and the concept of marine sentinel organisms provides one approach to evaluating aquatic ecosystem health.
Journal ArticleDOI
A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms
TL;DR: It is suggested that anthropogenic disturbance, through its influence on the frequency and/or amplitude of echinoderm population density changes, may go beyond present ecosystem impacts and alter future evolutionary trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morbilliviruses Use Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecules (CD150) as Cellular Receptors
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the use of SLAM as a cellular receptor may be a property common to most, if not all, morbilliviruses and explain the lymphotropism and immunosuppressive nature of morbillIViruses.

TL;DR: It is found that natural killer-cell activity and mitogen-induced proliferative T -cell responses from the seals feeding on herring from the Baltic Sea were significantly lower, and higher levels of circulating polymorphonuclear granulocytes in these animals may indicate an increase in the occurrence of bacterial infections.

TL;DR: Using an immunoperoxidase technique, morbillivirus antigen was detected in many tissues including lung, brain, spleen, and urinary bladder and in many neurons and astrocytes contained intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions.
