2. `(Coccidioides posadasii)` (`C. posadasii`): Oku kufumaneka kwezinye iindawo zaseMelika nakumhlaba woMbindi noMzantsi Melika.

Zombini ezi ntlobo zibangela iimpawu ezifanayo.

Ngoku makhe sibone ukuba oku kungena njani emizimbeni yethu. Xa umhlaba uphazamisekile, oko kukuthi, xa siwugrumba, njengasemoyeni, ezi fungi ziyaqhekeka. Xa ziqhekeka, iindawo ezincinci zokuzala, ezibizwa ngokuba zii-spores , ziyakhululwa emoyeni. Xa uphefumla umoya oqulethe ezi spores, ziyangena emiphungeni yakho zize zihlale, apho ziqala ukukhula zibe ngamaqela amakhulu ee-spores, ezibizwa ngokuba zii-spherules.
