Predicting Valley Fever Outbreaks: Novel Mechanistic Models Incorporating Climate and Ecological Interactions

Abstract excerpt

Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) is an environmentally acquired fungal infection endemic to the arid Americas, presenting a growing public health challenge as changing environmental patterns threaten to amplify exposure risks across both established and newly recognized endemic zones. Historically, forecasting efforts have relied on statistical correlations with meteorological variables. These phenomenological mo...
