    Journal: Med Mycol; 2019 Feb 01; 57(Supplement_1):S41-S45. PubMed ID: 30690596.
    Abstract:
    Workers in Coccidioides-endemic areas performing soil-disturbing work or exposed to windy and dusty conditions are at increased risk for coccidioidomycosis. Four occupational coccidioidomycosis outbreaks from 2007 to 2014 in California are described, involving construction workers in a number of excavation projects and an outdoor filming event involving cast and crew. These outbreaks highlight the importance of identifying industries and occupations at high risk for coccidioidomycosis, conducting targeted occupational health surveillance to assess the burden of illness, developing and implementing prevention strategies, and setting research priorities.
