Local population structure and patterns of Western Hemisphere dispersal for <i>Coccidioides spp</i> ., the fungal cause of Valley Fever

2015-08-17

Abstract excerpt

Coccidioidomycosis (or Valley Fever) is a fungal disease with high morbidity and mortality that affects tens of thousands of people each year. This infection is caused by two sibling species, Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii , which are endemic to specific arid locales throughout the Western Hemisphere, particularly the desert southwest of the United States. Recent epidemiological and population genetic dat...
