🗑
4 systemic infections by trie pathogens   Histoplasma (most common), coccidioides, blastomyces, paracoccidioides  
🗑
Histoplasma (eastern and central US)   Causes histoplasmosis, dimorphism, high nitrogen, pulmonary infection progressing to organs and lung disease

  Sport thrip schenckii  
🗑
  Sporotrichosis (rose garners disease); fungus decomposes plant matter in soil, infects appendages and lungs; lymphocytes. Variety plant matter penetrates skin- forms nodule spreads to lymph nodes  
🗑
