   This increase is likely due to a combination of factors, including increased clinician awareness (and thus confirmatory diagnoses), but there also appears to be a true increase in actual human infections as well.

   Coccidioidomycosis, which can become a serious and systemic/chronic condition in some (but not all) affected, is widely under-diagnosed (by factor of 10 or more), and incidence has sharply increased in recent years (especially in California). https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2830685
