Molecular Epidemiology of Blastomyces dermatitidis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 The inhalation of conidia of Blastomyces dermatitidis, a fungus found in soil, causes disease in humans and animals. We studied the genetic diversity of this pathogen by extracting DNA yeasts and analyzing them with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based typing system we developed, which used restriction fragment analysis of amplicons from the regions

Bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary blastomycosis
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020 Objectives: Diagnosing pulmonary blastomycosis (PB) requires the detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis in pulmonary secretions or tissue, which can be achieved via bronchoscopic procedures like bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or brush and transbronchial ...

Blastomycosis in a postpartum dog
Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2014 Transplacental infection with Blastomyces dermatitidis is rare in humans and unknown in the dog. A Doberman pinscher bitch was diagnosed with blastomycosis 25 days after whelping. Clinical signs were noted after whelping and were progressive.

Human and Canine Pulmonary Blastomycosis, North Carolina, 2001–2002
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 We investigated a cluster of blastomycosis in 8 humans and 4 dogs in a rural North Carolina community. Delayed diagnosis, difficulty isolating Blastomyces dermatitidis in nature, and lack of a sensitive and specific test to assess exposure make outbreaks

The Susceptibility of Blastomyces dermatitidis to Drying
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1967 SummaryThe effect of drying on the loss of viability of Blastomyces dermatitidis in sterile soil is reported. 1. An average of 90% loss of viability occurred after 5 days storage at room temperature in cotton plugged tubes or in a desiccator. The loss increased to 95% after 11 days or longer.
