*Haplomycosis
*Haplomycosis
*''Emmonsia crescens''
**Does not proliferate within the animal body
**Each spore develops into a thick-walled spherule called a '''adiaspore'''
*Non-contageous, pulmonary mycosis
*Worldwide
*Affects burrowing rodents and small animals
*Respiratory infection
*Spetate hyphae with large numbers of small, round conidia either singly or in groups on the ends of the short conidiospores can be seen

==Coccidioidomycosis==
==Coccidioidomycosis==
*''Coccidioides immitis''
*Ocurs in the soil
**Respiratory infections
**Most commonly seen following dust storms
*Occurs in arid regions
**E.g. South West USA and Mexico
*Non-contageous, systemic mycosis
*Affects dogs, cattle, sheep and humans
*Mainly affects the lungs
**Dissemination can occur to other organs
*Thick-walled spherule in tissue
*Saprophytic phase consists of coarse, septate, branching hyphae which fragment into thick-walled, barrel-shaped arthrospores which alternate with empty cells

*''Histoplasma capsulatum''
*Non-contageous, systemic mycosis
*Commonly pulmonary infections occur
**Other organs can be involved
*Endemic to the USA
**Isolated cases have been reported in Europe
*Respiratory infection
*Affects dogd, cats, cattle, horses and humans
*Present intracellularly in macrophages as oval yeast cells with few buds
*Found in soil contaminated by bird droppings and in caes inhabited by bats
*Fine, branching, septate hyphae with smooth-walled pyriform to spherical microconidia and large, thick-walled tuberculate macroconidia on simple conidiophores
