Abstract

Importance: spp. are bacteria found in estuaries worldwide; some species can cause illness and infections in humans. Relationships between spp. abundance, salinity, and temperature are well documented, but correlations to other environmental parameters are less understood. This study identifies unique correlates (e.g., E-W wind scalar and harmful algal species) that could potentially inform the next iteration of predictive models for the EMSS region. Additionally, these correlates may allow existing environmental monitoring efforts to be leveraged in providing data inputs for future Vibrio risk models. An observed correlation between salinity and /particle-size associations suggests that predicted environmental changes may affect the abundance of spp. in certain reservoirs, which may alter which vectors present the greatest vibrio risk.
