This study shows that fungal spore seasons advanced by 11-22 days across the US over two decades, but annual spore concentrations decreased, linked to climate variables.

The paper detects airborne Coccidioides spores using UAS-mounted samplers in California, finding Coccidioides DNA in 4.9% of air samples at 8 m height.

The paper examines the relationship between soil microbial communities and Coccidioides immitis presence in rodent burrows and surface soils, finding higher microbial diversity in Coccidioides-positive samples.

This study shows that rodent burrows and their presence increase Coccidioides immitis detection in soils, with moisture also playing a role.
