Differential Thermotolerance Adaptation between Species of Coccidioides [PDF]

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.

Global profiling of secreted protease activities in [PDF]

Current Research in Microbial Sciences
Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever), caused by inhalation of Coccidioides arthroconidia, remains a diagnostic challenge due to its clinical similarity to other respiratory illnesses and the absence of a rapid, definitive diagnostic test. Current approaches,

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.

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.

Analysis of Transposable Elements in Coccidioides Species

Journal of Fungi, 2018
Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii are primary pathogenic fungi that cause disease in immunologically-normal animals and people. The organism is found exclusively in arid regions of the Southwestern United States, Mexico, and South America, but not in

Infected Aneurysm of the Native Aorta due to Coccidioides posadasii. [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis, 2021
Abstract Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic fungal infection that is typically asymptomatic or associated with pulmonary disease. Extrapulmonary disease may involve the skin, bones, or central nervous system, yet endovascular infections are exceedingly rare.

Urease Produced by Coccidioides posadasii Contributes to the Virulence of This Respiratory Pathogen [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2006
ABSTRACT Urease activity during in vitro growth in the saprobic and parasitic phases of Coccidioides spp. is partly responsible for production of intracellular ammonia released into the culture media and contributes to alkalinity of the external microenvironment.

Coccidioides posadasii in a Dog With Cervical Dissemination Complicated by Esophageal Fistula. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci, 2020
A 5-year-old male, neutered mixed breed dog with a history of a mass with an associated draining tract on the ventral cervical region was diagnosed with an esophageal fistula. The dog exhibited serosanguinous discharge from the draining tract, with enlarged left superficial cervical and mandibular lymph nodes, and was reported to have difficulty with ...

Meningitis aguda secundaria a Coccidioides posadasii

Revista médica (Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos de Guatemala), 2022
Meningitis is an infection of the meninges. It is accompanied by an inflammatory reaction of the central nervous system that can cause decreased level of consciousness, seizures, increased intracranial pressure, and strokes. We present the case of
