  abstract = {{V}ibrio vulnificus, an estuarine bacterium, is the causative agent of seafood-related gastroenteritis, primary septicemia, and wound infections worldwide. {I}t occurs as part of the normal microflora of coastal marine environments and can be isolated from water, sediment, and oysters. {H}indcast prediction was undertaken to determine spatial and temporal variability in the likelihood of occurrence of {V}. vulnificus in surface waters of the {C}hesapeake {B}ay. {H}indcast predictions were achieved by forcing a multivariate habitat suitability model with simulated sea surface temperature and salinity in the {B}ay for the period between 1991 and 2005 and the potential hotspots of occurrence of {V}. vulnificus in the {C}hesapeake {B}ay were identified. {T}he likelihood of occurrence of {V}. vulnificus during high and low rainfall years was analyzed. {F}rom results of the study, it is concluded that hindcast prediction yields an improved understanding of environmental conditions associated with occurrence of {V}. vulnificus in the {C}hesapeake {B}ay.},
