The fungi that cause it (<jats:italic>Coccidioides immitis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Coccidioides posadasii<\/jats:italic>) are normally soil dwelling, but, if disturbed, become airborne and infect the host when their spores are inhaled. It is thus natural to surmise that weather conditions, which foster the growth and dispersal of <jats:italic>Coccidioides,<\/jats:italic> must have an effect on the number of cases in the endemic areas. This article reviews our attempts to date at quantifying this relationship in Kern County, California (where <jats:italic>C. immitis<\/jats:italic> is endemic). We have examined the effect on incidence resulting from precipitation, surface temperature, and wind speed. We have performed our studies by means of a simple linear correlation analysis, and by a generalized autoregressive moving average model. Our first analysis suggests that linear correlations between climatic parameters and incidence are weak; our second analysis indicates that incidence can be predicted largely by considering only the previous history of incidence in the county\u2014the inclusion of climate\u2010 or weather\u2010related time sequences improves the model only to a relatively minor extent. Our work therefore suggests that incidence fluctuations (about a seasonally varying background value) are related to biological and\/or anthropogenic reasons, and not so much to weather or climate anomalies.<\/jats:bold> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1406.028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,17]],"date-time":"2007-10-17T22:34:18Z","timestamp":1192660458000},"page":"73-82","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Fluctuations in Climate and Incidence of Coccidioidomycosis in Kern County, California"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"1111","author":[{"given":"JORGE","family":"TALAMANTES","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SAM","family":"BEHSETA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"CHARLES S.","family":"ZENDER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4612-3730-3_6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/19.Supplement_1.14"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1007619813435"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1946.02870490011003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","unstructured":"Hugenholtz P.G.1957.Climate and coccidioidomycosis.InProceedings of the Symposium on Coccidioidomycosis Phoenix Arizona: 136\u2013143.Public Health Service.
