summer, a mysterious disease began to spread among sea stars on the west coast
of North America, reaching farther and striking more species than ever before. Something
similar seems to be happening on the east coast as well. To identify the
pathogen, researchers are conducting experiments and searching for genetic
clues. They are also watching for ecological impacts from the loss of these top
predators.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
