Abstract
Background: Blastomycosis is a potentially fatal mycosis that is acquired by inhaling infectious spores of Blastomyces
dermatitidis present in the environment. The ecology of this pathogen is poorly understood, in part because it has been
extremelydifficulttoidentifytheniche(s)itoccupiesbasedoncultureisolationoftheorganismfromenvironmentalsamples.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We investigated the ecology of blastomycosis by performing maximum entropy
modelingofexposuresitesfrom156casesofhumanandcanineblastomycosistoprovidearegional-scaleperspectiveof
the geographic and ecologic distribution of B. dermatitidis in Wisconsin. Based on analysis with climatic, topographic,
