Abstract excerpt
Sea star wasting disease (SSWD) is one of the most severe marine epidemics recorded, affecting numerous asteroid species and causing widespread population declines. Although a bacterial pathogen has recently been proposed for one species, its generality across taxa and regions remains unresolved.
