“…However, PCR and ISH suggested that the newly observed RLO was the WS-RLO. Electron microscopy was needed to discover that the WS-RLO was infected by a phage [38] (figure 3). These observations highlight the danger in using nucleic acid-based tests alone and the need for classical, visual methods in diagnosis.…”

“…However, taxonomic placement of the WS-RLO required sequencing of the 16S gene [38,50]. Sequencing paved the way for development of PCR [51], ISH [50] and qPCR [52] methods to help better understand field dynamics.…”

“…The disease withering syndrome (WS) results from a complex relationship among its abalone hosts, the bacterial pathogen (a rickettsia-like organism 'Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis' (WS-RLO, [38]), and the environment (temperature anomalies) [39][40][41][42][43]. A recently discovered bacteriophage hyperparasite further complicates the disease dynamics in this system [44].…”

Linking marine epizootics to a specific aetiology is notoriously difficult. Recent diagnostic successes show that marine disease diagnosis requires both modern, cutting-edge technology (e.g. metagenomics, quantitative real-time PCR) and more classic methods (e.g. transect surveys, histopathology and cell culture). Here, we discuss how this combination of traditional and modern approaches is necessary for rapid and accurate identification of marine diseases, and emphasize how sole reliance on any one technology or technique may lead disease investigations astray. We present diagnostic approaches at different scales, from the macro (environment, community, population and organismal scales) to the micro (tissue, organ, cell and genomic scales). We use disease case studies from a broad range of taxa to illustrate diagnostic successes from combining traditional and modern diagnostic methods. Finally, we recognize the need for increased capacity of centralized databases, networks, data repositories and contingency plans for diagnosis and management of marine disease.

“…As discussed in detail elsewhere in this issue [2][3][4], research over the past few decades has documented the existence of infectious diseases afflicting a variety of ocean-dwelling species, including coral reefs [5 -7], abalone [8,9], sea stars [10] and oysters [11], among others. Matters of ocean health are deeply intertwined with the health and well-being of human societies [12], given that oceans provide valuable ecosystem services-including carbon sequestration, coastal erosion protection and valuable animal protein for over a billion of the world's poorest people [13]-that depend on healthy and well-functioning marine ecosystems.…”

As anthropogenic stressors threaten the health of marine ecosystems, there is a need to better understand how the public processes and responds to information about ocean health. Recent studies of public perceptions about ocean issues report high concern but limited knowledge, prompting calls for information campaigns to mobilize public support for ocean restoration policy. Drawing on the literature from communication, psychology and related social science disciplines, we consider a set of social-cognitive challenges that researchers and advocates are likely to encounter when communicating with the public about ocean health and emerging marine diseases—namely, the psychological distance at which ocean issues are construed, the unfamiliarity of aquatic systems to many members of the public and the potential for marine health issues to be interpreted through politicized schemas that encourage motivated reasoning over the dispassionate consideration of scientific evidence. We offer theory-based strategies to help public outreach efforts address these challenges and present data from a recent experiment exploring the role of message framing (emphasizing the public health or environmental consequences of marine disease) in shaping public support for environmental policy.

“…The Anaplasmataceae currently consists of five established genera; Aegyptianella, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Neorickettsia and Wolbachia (Dumler et al, 2001), as well as two recently described genera with Candidatus status; 'Candidatus Xenohaliotis' (Friedman et al, 2000), and 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia' (Kawahara et al, 2004;Yabsley et al, 2008b). All species within the genera Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia' are tick-borne mammalian blood parasites, and include numerous animal pathogens and several emerging human pathogens, such as Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, and 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis' (Dumler & Bakken, 1995;Silaghi et al, 2016).…”
