With the exception of coccidioidomycosis, Canada and the United States share the same pulmonary mycoses; however, there are significant differences in their incidence and prevalence Lack of suitable habitats for the survival and growth of Coccidioides immitis undoubtedly accounts for this organism's absence from Canada. That country simply does not possess a climate that creates and maintains semi-arid regions similar to those of the North American southwest in which C. immitis flourishes Climatic differences may also account for the disparity in the extent of Blastomyces dermatitidis and Histoplasma capsulatum infections in the two countries -a high infection rate in the United States and a relative low infection rate in Canada. But the systemic mycoses do take a heavy toll of lives and have high morbidity rates; thereby, they constitute a serious public health problem. Knowledge of the epimiology of these diseases, when applied judiciously for control purposes, will reduce their incidence(AU) Publicado en inglés en el Public Health Rep 84(10): 669-877, 1969
