Predation scars may influence host susceptibility to pathogens: evaluating the role of corallivores as vectors of coral disease

Infectious diseases not regulated by host density, such as vector-borne diseases, have the potential to drive population declines and extinctions. Here we test the vector potential of the snail Drupella sp. and butterflyfish Chaetodon plebeius for two coral diseases, black band (BBD) and brown band...
