Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In 2023, California reported near-record high coccidioidomycosis cases after a dramatic transition from drought to heavy precipitation. Using an ensemble model, we forecasted 12,244 cases statewide during April 1, 2024-March 31, 2025, a 62% increase over cases reported 2 years before and on par with case counts for 2023.
