Valley fever, a respiratory spread by spores that grow in soil, has long been concentrated mostly in the Arizona desert and California’s lower San Joaquin Valley. But a growing body of research suggests the disease is gaining a foothold farther north, driven by warming temperatures and extreme swings in rainfall and drought tied to . sfchronicle.com/health/article

Author of ‘Blight’ explains how supercharged
Fungal have come for frogs, bats, bananas, and they're coming for us, too. Unknown until 2009 or 2010, and then the issued first warning about auris in 2016. So it’s really pretty new, and we don’t often get a really new emergence, except for something like COVID. But COVID is viral — that’s almost to be expected. To have a newly emergent fungal pathogen was something different grist.org/health/the-author-of

It sounds like something from a Pedro Pascal zombie drama, but the rise of deadly fungal spores has got some in the scientific community running scared.

July 18, 2023

"Most fungi cannot survive the human body temperature, so fungal infections have, 'for the greater part of the history of humankind,' never been a threat to human health, said Rachael Dangarembizi, a neuroinfections researcher at the University of Cape Town, on The Conversation. Now, however, 'climate change and other environmental pressures have led to the emergence of species of fungi that are capable of surviving at human body temperatures'.

"There are 'many reasons to fear a new fungal pathogen', warned Monosson in Time. These range from 'the paucity of antifungal drug options to lack of vaccines and diagnostic difficulties in humans, to the potential for catastrophic crop and wildlife disease”.

"For example, around 6,000 species of are known to cause disease in commercial plants, and each year 40% of the world’s crops are lost to a fungal disease, posing a huge threat to global food supply."
