Hi to all Coral listers,
I am a Ph.D. student, working on microbial coral
pathogens. Lately I have been collecting relevant
papers about coral diseases. Where can I find the
issue of the paper: "Revista de Biologia Tropical" 46
(Supplement 5), which concentrate in marine diseases
(and so hard to get). If anyone has some information ,
please contact me . Thanks so much in advance,
Yael
