Coral pathogen

[John Ogden]

Check Dr. Laurie Richardson (Florida International University) et al.'s
letter ("Florida's mystery coral-killer identified") in this week's Nature
on identification of a coral pathogen and proving Koch's Postulates.

Bravo!  This is one of only a very few times that this sort of thing has
been done, but it is the path that we must take if we are ever to
understand coral diseases.
