What is Valley Fever? Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis, or cocci) is caused by the soil-dwelling fungus, Coccidioides immitis. The tiny seeds, or spores, become wind-borne and are inhaled into the lungs, where the infection starts. When soils containing the fungus are disturbed and dust is raised, spores may be inhaled with the dust.
Valley fever is caused by breathing the fungus into the lungs. The fungus lives in the soil, but it is transported through the air and into the lungs, where it infects people. When soil that contains the fungus is disturbed, spores are released into the air. The disease cannot be transmitted from person to person.
