Climate change-induced stressors are contributing to the emergence of infectious diseases, including those caused by marine bacterial pathogens such as spp. These stressors alter temporal and geographical distribution, resulting in increased spread, exposure, and infection rates, thus facilitating greater -human interactions. Concurrently, wildfires are increasing in size, severity, frequency, and spread in the built environment due to climate change, resulting in the emission of contaminants of emerging concern.

is an opportunistic pathogen indigenous to estuarine and marine environments and associated with aquatic organisms. is of utmost importance because it causes 95% of the seafood-related deaths in the United States due to rapid progression of septicemia. Changes in environmental parameters associated with climate change and coastal population expansion are altering geographical constraints, resulting in increased spread, exposure, and rates of infection.
