Cure for The Common Coral

Recently, a group of scientist discovered a breakthrough in the treatment of White Plague disease, a deadly bacterium that infects corals and spreads to surrounding healthy corals. By subjecting affected coral to a virus called BA3 at a rate of 1000 ppm, the scientist found a noticeable cessation of spreading and progression of the disease.  While this treatment is effective, finding an economical and viable way to treat large areas of infected reef without potentially harming other marine life is another challenge. One of the scientists, Professor Rosenberg, assures us that these viruses can be easily manufactured in a laboratory; it is only the application of this treatment that needs further study. As he says, “it’s a question of technology and funding.” Read more here!
