Mitochondrial Genomes of the Human Pathogens Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. [PDF]

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2021
Abstract 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. Coccidioides immitis and C.

Cotrimoxazole enhances the in vitro susceptibility of Coccidioides posadasii to antifungals [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of cotrimoxazole on the in vitro susceptibility of Coccidioides posadasii strains to antifungals. A total of 18 strains of C. posadasii isolated in Brazil were evaluated in this study.

Developing a Coccidioides posadasii and SARS-CoV-2 Co-infection Model in the K18-hACE2 Transgenic Mouse [PDF]

Communications Medicine
Background Early reports showed that patients with COVID-19 had recrudescence of previously resolved coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever, VF), and there were indications that coinfection had more severe outcomes.

The Mysterious Desert Dwellers: Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii, Causative Fungal Agents of Coccidioidomycosis [PDF]

Virulence, 2019
The genus Coccidioides consists of two species: C. immitis and C. posadasii. Prior to 2000, all disease was thought to be caused by a single species, C. immitis. The organism grows in arid to semiarid alkaline soils throughout western North America and into Central and South America.

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,

Emergence of Coccidioides posadasii in an asymptomatic Ecuadorian patient with diabetes: A case report. [PDF]

IDCases
Coccidioidomycosis is a potentially serious but poorly studied mycosis in Ecuador. It is not a notifiable infection; therefore, its true incidence and prevalence in Ecuador remain unknown. Because primary lung disease due to coccidioidomycoses is typically self-limiting, it does not usually require treatment.

Molecular identification of Coccidioides spp. in soil samples from Brazil [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Since 1991 several outbreaks of acute coccidioidomycosis (CM) were diagnosed in the semi-arid Northeast of Brazil, mainly related to disturbance of armadillo burrows caused by hunters while digging them for the capture of these animals.

Detection of Coccidioides posadasii from xerophytic environments in Venezuela reveals risk of naturally acquired coccidioidomycosis infections [PDF]

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2018
A wide range of mammals are susceptible to infection by the fungal species Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii. In humans, 60% of infections are asymptomatic; however, certain patients may develop a severe and deep systemic mycosis called ...

Coccidioides posadasii Infection in Bats, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
To analyze the eco-epidemiologic aspects of Histoplasma capsulatum in Brazil, we tested 83 bats for this fungus. Although H. capsulatum was not isolated, Coccidioides posadasii was recovered from Carollia perspicillata bat lungs.

Antigenic Relatedness between Mannans from Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii Spherules and Mycelia. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel)
Immunoassays for cell wall mannans that are excreted into serum and urine have been used as an aid in the diagnosis of many disseminated fungal infections, including coccidioidomycosis. Antigen-detection immunoassays are critically dependent on the detection of an analyte, such as mannan, by antibodies that are specific to the analyte. The goal of this
