In Popular Culture
Coccidioides immitis is used as a plot device in Thunderhead, a novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The fungus (prepared from infected victims) is revealed to be the principal agent in corpse powder (based on corpse poison used by Witch). It was also mentioned by the fictional antihero Dr. Gregory House (played by actor James Hugh Calum Laurie) on the Television Series, House MD (episode Lines in the Sand).
