Effects of Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature on Coccidioidomycosis
2025-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever, VF) is a climate-sensitive infectious disease caused by inhaling soil-dwelling fungus Coccidioides , mostly reported in southwestern USA. Although soil moisture (SM) and soil temperature (ST) are known to shape the fungal lifecycle, their effects on coccidioidomycosis remain understudied. Most prior studies have relied on their proxies—precipitation and air temperature—that might...
