Abstract
The increasing importance of coccidioidal infection is apparent to workers in medical science, judging from available literature on the subject. Since the first discovery of human coccidioidal granuloma in South America by Wernicke (1892),1and in California by Rixford (1894)2and Giltner's3discovery of the disease in California cattle, the general conception of the malady has changed materially. Our purpose in this paper is to correlate available data on the nature, incidence and geographic distribution of coccidioidal granuloma, designated "coccidioidomycosis" by Dickson,4in both man and animals. A conception of the human phase of the disease is quite incomplete without coordinating the physician's researches on human beings with the veterinarian's investigations on lower animals. To the physician, veterinarian or other scientist interested in coccidioidal infection a wealth of literature is available.
