A Critical New Drug Is Coming—Unless Agriculture Gets There First | WIRED wired.com/story/a-critic…

Very excited to share this book I edited for Springer containing protocols for antifungal immunity research. Most protocols are for mouse models of fungal infection, particularly rare ones, and in vivo immunology. Check it out here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

1/3 Thrilled to share our new paper in Cell led by Jigar V Desai on how complement component C5 promotes phagocyte survival and effector functions for protective antifungal host defense. Read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Delayed testing and long turnaround times are common challenges associated with complement fixation and immunodiffusion assays for Coccidioides, or #Valleyfever. Learn about the recommended approach to Coccidioides serologic testing from Elli Theel, PhD. mayocl.in/45vbyRJ

Early detection and accurate diagnosis are two critical elements to improve outcomes. MiraVista Diagnostics offers several testing options for accurate #ValleyFever detection. Learn how to know which test is best: bit.ly/350Zx7M

Confirming a #Valleyfever diagnosis typically requires a multi-pronged approach including fungal culture, molecular testing, and serologic assessment for antibodies developed against the organism. Learn about our optimized testing approach. mayocl.in/3oNZScn

VIVE. Salute to Superbowl Champ Rob Gronkoski for spreading the word about the Valley Fever vaccine. We spoke about his philanthropic efforts, being a Frenchie Dad, and his love for pet health. Many thanks to Anivive & DOGTV & Rob Gronkowski GronkNation #ValleyFever

Excited to work with @slg1717 and Mari Shinohara to organize Keystone Symposia #FungalPathogens: Emerging Threats and Challenges in 2/2024! Join us to explore #FungalInfection #Antifungals #Immunity research in Banff! keysym.us/KSFungalPath24 #KSFungalPath24
