In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers used viral metagenomics to identify several viruses — including one new ...

Researchers hope the study can eventually find a way to predict when blooms will occur, and how to reduce their effects on ...

Scientists have finally uncovered the reason behind mysterious red tides washing up on Florida's coastline. The blood-red waves have been known to be both destructive to the environment and ...

Red tide has long plagued Florida beaches, bringing coughing, burning eyes and piles of dead fish. Scientists have been searching for a solution for decades, but progress has been elusive.

University of South Florida researchers have discovered connections between certain viruses and red tide blooms. The even found a new viral species. Further research is needed to understand the ...

(WFLA) — Researchers at the University of South Florida led a new study that is the first to identify viruses associated with the organism, karenia brevis, that causes red tide. The study ...

Identifying viruses associated with red tide can help researchers forecast the development of blooms and better understand environmental factors that can cause blooms to terminate. The study marks an ...
