Coccidioidomycosis is an infection caused by Coccidioides immitis or C. posadasii. We developed a TaqMan real-time PCR assay that rapidly and accurately differentiates the species. This assay can be used as a tool to improve disease surveillance, increase understanding of the natural history of the infection, and assist in clinical differentiation studies.
球孢子菌病是由粗球孢子菌或波氏球孢子菌引起的感染。我们开发了一种 TaqMan 实时 PCR 检测方法,可以快速准确地区分这两个物种。该检测方法可作为一种工具,用于改善疾病监测,增加对感染自然史的了解,并有助于临床鉴别研究。
