“…An increasing number of studies accumulate evidence of an emerging risk of Vibrio-related wound infections in high latitudes as a consequence of climate anomalies such as temporal peaks in sea surface temperatures [27]. Due to its semi-enclosed character, the North Sea is one of the seas most vulnerable towards such ocean warming trends [28].…”

The number of reported Vibrio-related wound infections associated with recreational bathing in Northern Europe has increased within the last decades. In order to study the health risk from potentially pathogenic Vibrio spp. in the central Wadden Sea, the seasonal and spatial distribution of Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio cholerae were investigated at ten recreational beaches in this area over a 2-year period. V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus were found to be omnipresent all year round in the study area, while V. vulnificus occurrence was restricted to summer months in the estuaries of the rivers Ems and Weser. Multiple linear regression models revealed that water temperature is the most important determinant of Vibrio spp. occurrence in the area. Differentiated regression models showed a species-specific response to water temperature and revealed a particularly strong effect of even minor temperature increases on the probability of detecting V. vulnificus in summer. In sediments, Vibrio spp. concentrations were up to three orders of magnitude higher than in water. Also, V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus were found to be less susceptible towards winter temperatures in the benthic environment than in the water, indicating an important role of sediments for Vibrio ecology. While only a very small percentage of tested V. parahaemolyticus proved to be potentially pathogenic, the presence of V. vulnificus during the summer months should be regarded with care.

“…In cold regions, incidences of V. vulnificus infection have been reported in Denmark, around the Baltic Sea (14). The water temperature in the Baltic Sea is gradually rising and the incidence of V. vulnificus infection is increasing (15). An Israeli paper reported an outbreak of this infection in a year when the seawater temperature increased, suggesting the influence of climate change (16).…”

Successful Treatment of a Case of Necrotizing Fasciitis due to <i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> in a Cold Climate in Japan

et al. 2016

Vibrio vulnificus infection often occurs in warm regions, frequently leading to necrotizing fasciitis, sepsis, and death. We herein report a rare case presenting in a cold climate region in northern Japan, Aomori district, of a V. vulnificus infection complicated by necrotizing fasciitis and septic shock. The patient's prior history of injury and typical clinical course were helpful clues to the diagnosis of V. vulnificus infection, and early initiation of antimicrobial treatment saved his life. V. vulnificus infection should be considered even in cold regions, particularly if patients have risk factors.

“…We also generated a scenario deforestation continues→global warming worsens→sea temperatures rise→vibrio parahaemolyticus fouls (water), which is written in no document in our input web corpus crawled in 2007. But the vibrio risk due to global warming was observed in Baker-Austin et al (2013). Thus, we "predicted" the future event sequence in a sense.…”

“…For example, our method can identify the compatibility between sea temperatures are high and sea temperatures rise to chain global warming worsens→sea temperatures are high and sea temperatures rise→vibrio parahaemolyticus 2 fouls (water). Accordingly, we generated a scenario deforestation continues→global warming worsens→sea temperatures rise→vibrio parahaemolyticus fouls (water), which is written in no document in our input web corpus that was crawled in 2007, but the vibrio risk due to global warming has actually been observed in the Baltic sea and reported in Baker-Austin et al (2013). In a sense, we "predicted" the event sequence reported in 2013 by documents written in 2007.…”

We propose a supervised method of extracting event causalities like conduct slash-and-burn agriculture→exacerbate desertification from the web using semantic relation (between nouns), context, and association features. Experiments show that our method outperforms baselines that are based on state-of-the-art methods. We also propose methods of generating future scenarios like conduct slash-and-burn agriculture→exacerbate desertification→increase Asian dust (from China)→asthma gets worse.Experiments show that we can generate 50,000 scenarios with 68% precision. We also generated a scenario deforestation continues→global warming worsens→sea temperatures rise→vibrio parahaemolyticus fouls (water), which is written in no document in our input web corpus crawled in 2007. But the vibrio risk due to global warming was observed in Baker-Austin et al. (2013). Thus, we "predicted" the future event sequence in a sense.
