Photo Quiz: Globose Yeast-Like Forms With Multiple Peripheral Buds in Urine and Cervical Cytology. [PDF]

Diagn Cytopathol
ABSTRACT A 26‐year‐old immunocompetent woman with a history of noninvasive, low‐grade papillary urothelial carcinoma presented with persistent upper abdominal pain. Urine cytology, performed for bladder tumor surveillance, revealed globose, yeast‐like forms (10–30 μm) with thick walls and multiple narrowly attached peripheral buds in a “ship wheel ...

Selection of Specific Peptides for Coccidioides spp. Obtained from Antigenic Fractions through SDS-PAGE and Western Blot Methods by the Recognition of Sera from Patients with Coccidioidomycosis

Molecules, 2018
Antigenic fractions of 100, 50, 37, and 28 kDa obtained through the SDS-PAGE method that were more frequently recognized by anti-Coccidioides antibodies in the sera of coccidioidomycosis patients were selected using western blotting.

Autochthonous Transmission of Coccidioides in Animals, Washington, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We report 5 cases of coccidioidomycosis in animals that were acquired within Washington, USA, and provide further evidence for the environmental endemicity of Coccidioides immitis within the state.

Molecular and phenotypic description of Coccidioides Posadasii sp nov., previously recognized as the non-California population of Coccidioides immitis [PDF]

, 2002
Coccidioides posadasii sp. nov., formerly known as non-California (non-CA) Coccidioides immitis, is described. Phylogenetic analyses using single nucleotide polymorphisms, genes, and microsatellites show that C.

Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Activation and Polarization in Response to Coccidioidesposadasii Infection

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.

Differential Thermotolerance Adaptation between Species of Coccidioides

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever, is caused by two species of dimorphic fungi. Based on molecular phylogenetic evidence, the genus Coccidioides contains two reciprocally monophyletic species: C. immitis and C. posadasii.

Use of Population Genetics to Assess the Ecology, Evolution, and Population Structure of Coccidioides

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
During the past 20 years, a general picture of the genetic diversity and population structure of Coccidioides, the causal agent of coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever), has emerged. The genus consists of 2 genetically diverse species, C.

Blinded panel of Coccidioides duplex real-time PCR.

, 2021
The assay’s precision was assessed using blinded panel with varying concentration of gDNA from 20 isolates each of C. posadassii and C. immitis, and 10 isolates of fungi other than Coccidioides spp.
