Abstract
The present invention concerns oligonucleotide probes for detecting Coccidioides immitis. The probes are capable of distinguishing between Coccidioides immitis and closely related phylogenetic neighbors. These probes are targeted to unique Coccidioides immitis 28S rRNA and gene sequences encoding 28S rRNA, and may be used in an assay for the detection and/or quantitation of Coccidioides immitis, e.g., in samples of sputum, urine, blood, tissue sections, food, soil and water.
