Soil isolation and molecular identification of Coccidioides immitis.

2000-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract:The fungal pathogen Coccidioides immitis, causative agent of coccidioidomycosis or Valley Fever, was first isolated from the environment in 1932. It has been isolated on numerous occasions since then, but always with the use of a mammalian host. The morphology of C. immitis is indistinct from related species, thus, its identification hinges upon its ability to infect and produce spherules in a susceptible...
