While combing the shore, she gently picked up a fragile seastar and returned it to the shallow water.

At low tide, children gathered around the tide pool to watch seastars cling to the rocks.

Researchers discovered several seastar associated densoviruses in the coastal samples.

Researchers are investigating the causes of seastar wasting diseases along the Pacific coast.

Researchers detected a novel seastar associated densovirus in several affected populations along the coast.

Researchers detected a novel seastar-associated densovirus in several affected specimens after the mass mortality event.

Researchers found that seastar-associated densoviruses can spread rapidly through affected populations, contributing to large-scale die-offs.

Researchers are investigating whether seastar wasting disease is spread by changes in coastal water temperature.
