Temperate and filamentous bacteriophages as reservoirs of bacterial virulence in stony coral tissue loss disease

2026-03-26

Abstract excerpt

Lysogenic conversion, in which bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) integrate into bacterial genomes and confer new phenotypic traits on their hosts, is a well-established mechanism for the emergence of pathogens. While this process underpins many bacterial diseases in humans and other animals, its role in coral disease remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the potential role of lysogenic conve...
