Guiding questions
Are marine diseases increasing through global change?
Are fundamentally novel diseases emerging?
How can we conceptualize the dual nature of marine disease as trigger of mass mortality versus essential ecosystem regulator?
What are the links between ecosystem integrity, marine disease, and human health?
How can we best manage the societal and economic implications of marine diseases, epidemic risks, and microbial interventions under uncertainty?
