Data regarding infections with <jats:italic>Blastomyces dermatitidis<\/jats:italic> in humans were accessed from the Illinois Department of Public Health. Data regarding <jats:italic>B dermatitidis<\/jats:italic> infections in dogs were acquired through a survey of a random sample of the 747 veterinary medical practices in Illinois. Statistical analyses of human and canine data were performed by use of <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> tests, ANOVA, odds ratio assessment, and regression modeling.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014Estimated annual incidence of human cases of blastomycosis in Illinois increased from 3.8 to 10.7 cases\/1 million persons\/y from 2001 through 2007. Analysis of data from 221 veterinary practices revealed that the mean estimated annual incidence of canine cases of blastomycosis was 8.3 times the mean estimated annual incidence of human cases, with a similar pattern of change and regional distributions. Thirty-eight counties reported either human or canine cases but not both.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014The estimated annual incidence of blastomycosis in humans and dogs in Illinois increased during the period of interest. Veterinarians, physicians, and public health agencies should be encouraged to communicate with each other regarding diagnoses of blastomycosis in either species to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.239.3.335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,1]],"date-time":"2011-08-01T07:03:16Z","timestamp":1312182196000},"page":"335-343","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Temporal and spatial distribution of blastomycosis cases among humans and dogs in Illinois (2001\u20132007)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"239","author":[{"given":"John A.","family":"Herrmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stacy L.","family":"Kostiuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark S.","family":"Dworkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yvette J.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Infect Dis Clin North Am","first-page":"21","article-title":"Blastomycosis","volume":"17","author":"Bradsher","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Blastomycosis","first-page":"83","article-title":"The epidemiology of blastomycosis","author":"DiSalvo","year":"1992"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Illinois Quickfacts from the US Census Bureau"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis","first-page":"60","article-title":"Prevalence and prevalence studies of human and canine blastomycosis. 1.
