Percentage of nubbins infected in disease transmission experiments involving the butterflyfish Chaetodon plebeius (a,b) and the snail Drupella (c,d). The C. plebeius transmission experiment used a) brown band disease and b) black band disease, and comprised three treatments: active transmission, passive transmission with fish predation, and passive transmission without fish predation treatments, with three controls (passive transmission, pathogen infectivity, and seawater controls). The Drupella transmission experiment used c) brown band and d) black band disease, and comprised three treatments: a no delay introduction of snails to tanks, a 12 h delay, and a 24 h delay, with three controls (pathogen infectivity, injury and seawater controls).
