• Actions to take
• Coccidioidomycosis results from direct inhalation of the spores of the dimorphic fungus Coccidioides the spores of the dimorphic fungus Coccidioides immitis from the soil or from dust in the air. C. immitis has both a saprophytic and parasitic phase in its life cycle. It grows as a mold in the soil, and when disturbed, the hyphae fragment forms a durable disturbed, the hyphae fragment forms a durable structure called arthroconidia which becomes airborne. When the arthroconidia are inhaled, they transform into thick-walled multinucleate spherules that then separate to produce thousands of
d hi h h d h lp p
endospores, which can then produce a new spherule ands begin the cycle anew. Photo on top hyphae and arthroconidia. Photo on bottom spherules containing endospores. Photo source: http://botit botany wisc edu/toms fungi/jan2002 hthttp://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/jan2002.html
