Dogs in the Tucson area with a known history of clinical Valley Fever were tested with two skin test reagents to determine their ability to detect delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) to the Coccidioides spp. The reagents used were Spherusol, from Nielsen Biologicals, and coccidioidin, which is no longer commercially available. Skin tests were read 48 hours after placement and evaluated for erythema and/or induration.This data is made available by the Valley Fever Center for Excellence and the University of Arizona Libraries.
