Host tracheal and intestinal microbiomes inhibit Coccidioides growth in vitro [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley fever, is a disease caused by the fungal pathogen Coccidioides. Unfortunately, patients are often misdiagnosed with bacterial pneumonia, leading to inappropriate antibiotic treatment.

Using soil survey data to model potential Coccidioides soil habitat and inform Valley fever epidemiology.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley fever, is a disease that can result in substantial illness and death. It is most common in the southwestern United States and areas of Latin America with arid climates, though reports increasingly suggest its ...

Characterizing the Soil Microbial Community Associated with the Fungal Pathogen Coccidioides immitis

Journal of Fungi
Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal disease affecting humans and other mammals caused by environmental pathogens of the genus Coccidioides. Human exposure to the pathogen occurs via inhalation of spores aerosolized from soil.

Protoplasting and Transformation Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Coccidioides. [PDF]

Curr Protoc
Abstract Coccidioides posadasii and C. immitis are human fungal pathogens endemic to the American Southwest. C. posadasii and C. immitis are the causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever. They are pathogens of growing concern, as reported cases of coccidioidomycosis have increased 20‐fold in the last two decades.

Mitochondrial genomes of the human pathogens Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]

, 2021
Fungal mitochondrial genomes encode genes involved in crucial cellular processes, such as oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial translation, and the molecule has been used as a molecular marker for population genetics studies.

Coccidioidal Meningitis [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2006
Residents of the area now occupied by the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico have had to deal with coccidioidomycosis and complicating meningitis for >1500 years. The hundredth anniversary of the reporting of disseminated coccidioidomycosis has just passed.

Coccidioidal Pericarditis [PDF]

Circulation, 1953
In endemic areas where coccidioidomycosis is encountered, pericarditis of an occult etiology warrants a careful search for coccidioidomycosis. A coccidioidin skin test is helpful. The established diagnosis, however, depends upon positive coccidioidal complement fixation and precipitin tests, or recovery of the organism from the sputum or the ...

Coccidioidomycosis in Northern Arizona: an Investigation of the Host, Pathogen, and Environment Using a Disease Triangle Approach

mSphere, 2022
Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii are the etiological agents of coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever [VF]). Disease manifestation ranges from mild pneumonia to chronic or extrapulmonary infection.
