Factors Influencing Distribution of Coccidioides immitis in Soil, Washington State, 2016.
Open accessAbstract
Coccidioidomycosis is considered a highly endemic disease for which geographic range is likely to expand from climate change. A better understanding of the ecological niche of Coccidioides spp. is essential for generating accurate distribution maps and predicting future changes in response to the changing environment.

Environmental spread may expose certain racial or ethnic groups more than others to coccidioidomycosis.
“Such environmental spread may, in turn, expose certain racial or ethnic groups more than others to this infection [133,145].”

Climate change will likely influence the spread of coccidioidomycosis endemicity to different geographic regions.
“These factors should be taken into account as we learn that climate change will likely influence the spread of coccidioidomycosis endemicity to different geographic regions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
