Protoplasting and Transformation Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Coccidioides
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.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.

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 At present, there is no standardized marker that is routinely used in clinical laboratories to diagnose coccidioidomycosis. Thus, the goals of this study were to obtain a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for the identification of ...

Unusual manifestation of Coccidioides immitis infection
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1977 Cavitary pulmonary disease secondary to coccidioidomycosis occurs in endemic areas of the southwestern United States. Significant hemoptysis requiring pulmonary resection may develop in patients with cavitary lesions. In rare instances hemoptysis may be due to the development of a fungus ball within the cavity, and such mycetomas may contain spherule ...

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights
Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.
