Coccidioides undetected in soils from agricultural land and uncorrelated with time or the greater soil fungal community on undeveloped land [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Coccidioidomycosis is a typically respiratory fungal disease that, in the United States, occurs primarily in Arizona and California. In California, most coccidioidomycosis cases occur in the San Joaquin Valley, a primarily agricultural region where the ...

Urban soils along the Kern River and Los Gatos Creek are hotspots for Coccidioides in the San Joaquin Valley of California [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyCoccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) is acquired through inhalation of spores produced by fungi in the genus Coccidioides. Coccidioides is commonly detected in and cultivated from the lung tissue of native rodents and the soils within their burrows ...

Journal of Fungi, 2021 Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal, respiratory disease caused by Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. The host immune responses that define disease outcome during infection are largely unknown, although T helper responses are required.

Off the Map: A Ten-Year Review of Coccidioidomycosis in Southeastern Michigan [PDF]
Journal of FungiRecent studies suggest coccidioidomycosis can be found outside regions not considered to be endemic for Coccidioides species. We reviewed our experience with coccidioidomycosis at a large quaternary medical center in southeastern Michigan, an area not ...
