Cocci Skin Tests 2000

Abstract

An epidemiological survey of Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) was conducted in dogs in Tucson and Phoenix. Dogs were tested for delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) using coccidioidin, a reagent that is not commercially available and results of the skin tests were compared with corresponding serologic test results.Study numbers beginning with N denote dogs that were excluded from participation in the full study. Those beginning with T are dogs residing in the Tucson region, and those beginning with P are dogs from the Phoenix area. Some dogs received multiple skin tests approximately every six months.This data is made available by the Valley Fever Center for Excellence and the University of Arizona Libraries.
