“…More broadly, international collaboration on valley fever surveillance would improve disease management, especially in countries with cases or where Coccidioides spp. has been detected; this includes countries in North, Central, and South America (Baptista‐Rosas et al, ; Campins, ; de Macêdo et al, ; Eulálio et al, ). For example, Coccidioides spp.…”

“…PCR using Coccidioides-specific ribosomal DNA (rDNA) primers in a nested reaction protocol has allowed detection in some cases (45,46), although the sensitivity of detection is not clear. This approach, while useful for identifying positive sites, does not allow for molecular or phenotypic analysis.…”

“…Data from Kern County in California show a single peak of infection associated with dry periods after the winter rainy season, with relatively equal rates during the rest of the year (67,68). There is a general lack of information about climatic factors affecting rates of disease in the remainder of the area of endemicity, specifically in Mexico and South America (45,69).…”

“…The study by Colson et al [27] expands recent investigations on the molecular identification of Coccidioides in environmental samples with an optimized multiplex PCR method in Bakersfield, California [28], a semi-nested PCR using specific primer in Brazil [29], a nested PCR followed by a diagnostic PCR designed to amplify the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 2 region in Baja California [30], and an endpoint-nested PCR followed by ITS1 and ITS2 amplification in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah [31]. Thus, there is a volume of rigorous laboratory data that confirm the occurrence of Coccidioides DNA in various locations in the endemic zones.…”
