5/ Some other fun highlights- check out our symbiont capture device- deployed in aquariums and on the reef to catch symbionts expelled from Acropora

4/ we observed putative virion formation in symbionts of bleaching Acropora- we’d love to hear if you’ve seen anything similar in TEMs!

3/ fVLPs are not exclusive to SCTLD-affected reef regions: we compare South Pacific fVLPs to those described in Work et al 2021 from SCTLD infected & non infected corals from Florida
& fVLPs are found in Breviolum, Cladocopium, & Durusdinium dominated corals

2/ We found more Symbiodiniaceae cells with fVLPs in corals sampled during a marine heatwave 🔥🌊 also found in symbionts expelled from corals- read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Filamentous virus-like particles are present in coral dinoflagellates across genera and ocean basins...
