摘要: Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection endemic to the southwestern United States, particularly Arizona and California. Its incidence has increased, potentially due in part effects of changing climatic variables on growth spore dissemination. This study aims quantify county-level vulnerability coccidioidomycosis California assess relationships between population climate variability. The representing exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity were combined calculate county level indices. Three methods used: (1) principal components analysis; (2) quartile weighting; (3) percentile weighting. Two sets indices, "unsupervised" "supervised", created. Each index was correlated with data from 2000-2014. supervised had highest correlation; it then variability measures for temperature, precipitation, drought. significantly (p < 0.05) both states. Moderate, positive significant associations found scores when states concurrently analyzed separately. research adds body knowledge that could be used target interventions vulnerable counties provides support hypothesis associated
