CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Gene Disruption Reveals the Importance of Zinc Metabolism for Fitness of the Dimorphic Fungal Pathogen
mBio, 2018 Blastomyces dermatitidis is a human fungal pathogen of the lung that can lead to disseminated disease in healthy and immunocompromised individuals. Genetic analysis of this fungus is hampered by the relative inefficiency of traditional recombination ...

Blastomyces dermatitidispneumonia in a llama [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2018 A 20-y-old female llama ( Lama glama) was euthanized after a history of chronic dyspnea and osteoarthritis. At autopsy, the lungs were covered by clear gelatinous material and expanded by firm, variably discrete, tan-white nodules up to 8 cm diameter containing tan-white, viscous material. The tracheobronchial lymph nodes were firm and enlarged up to 6

Blastomyces dermatitidis in a renal transplant recipient
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2014 Fungal pathogens can be the source of serious and sometimes fatal infections following organ transplantation. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of cutaneous blastomycosis in a renal allograft recipient in India, a country outside ...
