Effects of precipitation, heat, and drought on incidence and expansion of coccidioidomycosis in western USA: a longitudinal surveillance study

Lancet Planetary Health, 2022
Background Drought is an understudied driver of infectious disease dynamics. Amidst the ongoing southwestern North American megadrought, California is experiencing the driest multi-decadal period since 800CE, exacerbated by temperature.
