Fireworms are a reservoir and potential vector for coral-infecting apicomplexans
Abstract. Corals (Cnidaria; Anthozoa) play critical roles as habitat-forming species with a wide range, from warm shallow-water tropical coral reefs to col

We find abundant corallicolid sequences within bearded fireworms (๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ข) across reefs and years in Curaรงao ๐จ๐ผ!
