COPH Research Area
This goal of this study was to determine if soil characteristics might determine where Coccidioides sp. grows in the Tucson basin. The soil type was geo-spatially linked to severe cases of Valley fever to determine whether proximity to specific soil types would result in enhanced disease incidence. This project was supported by ADCRC.
