Genomic Data Mining Reveals Abundant Uncharacterized Transporters in Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii are causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley Fever. The increasing Valley Fever cases in the past decades, the expansion of endemic regions, and the rising azole drug-resistant ...

Coccidioides immitis: Two Cases of Misidentified Mycosis [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2008 In the present report, two cases of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis that caused a diagnostic confusion are presented. The first case was initially misdiagnosed as nonsmall cell carcinoma, and both cases were initially misidentified as blastomycosis because ...

Comparative transcriptomics of the saprobic and parasitic growth phases in Coccidioides spp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii, the causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, are dimorphic fungal pathogens, which grow as hyphae in the saprobic phase in the environment and as spherules in the parasitic phase in the mammalian host. In this study,

The Known Unknowns of the Immune Response to Coccidioides
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Coccidioidomycosis, otherwise known as Valley Fever, is caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii. While most clinical cases present with self-limiting pulmonary infection, dissemination of Coccidioides spp. results in prolonged

Elastase Activity of Coccidioides Immitis [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1985 Twenty-two strains of Coccidioides immitis were tested for the ability to hydrolyse elastin. Screening assays with Czapek's or Tryptic Soy Agar supplemented with 0.5% elastin demonstrated that 21 strains (95%) were elastolytic. In broth cultures, elastase activity was induced by incorporation of insoluble elastin into the medium and induction was ...
