Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis is described in seven California sea lions (Zalophu s californianus) admitted to The Marine Mammal Center, Sausalito, Cali fornia (USA), between January 1986 and December 1994. Diagnoses were c onfirmed by histology in all seven cases, culture in three cases, and serology in one case. These are believed to be the first published cas es of coccidioidomycosis in free-ranging California sea lions.
