Characterizing the soil microbial community associated with the fungal pathogen Coccidioides immitis

Molly Radosevich, Jennifer R. Head, Lisa Couper…·Justin V. Remais

The paper examines the relationship between soil microbial communities and Coccidioides immitis presence in rodent burrows and surface soils, finding higher microbial diversity in Coccidioides-positive samples.

Small mammals and their burrows shape the distribution of Coccidioides in soils: a long-term ecological experiment

Jennifer R. Head, Simon K. Camponuri, Amanda Weaver…·Justin V. Remais

This study shows that rodent burrows and their presence increase Coccidioides immitis detection in soils, with moisture also playing a role.
