First Reports of Canine Coccidioidomycosis in the Paso del Norte Region, Mexico–USA: A 10‐Case Series
This manuscript reveals the primary scientific evidence of canine coccidioidomycosis in Juarez and the Paso del Norte metropolitan region, emphasising dogs as crucial disease sentinels in accessible areas prone to transmission. Most cases showed bone involvement, possibly attributed to veterinarians associating radiographic signs with coccidioidomycosis. Despite respiratory manifestation being prevalent in research, the study emphasises the need for veterinarians to consider the disease in dogs with respiratory symptoms. The overall prognosis of this disease is poor, with the recurrence of signs leading to euthanasia. This emphasises the clinical challenges associated with canine coccidioidomycosis.
