Ajellomyces dermatitidis (anamorph Blastomyces dermatitidis) is the causative agent of blastomycosis, one of the major systemic mycoses. It is a dimorphic fungus, existing as a saprophyte in mycelial form in the soil and as a pathogen in a yeast form in the tissues of its host. Ajellomyces dermatitidis is haploid with two mating types.
The Ajellomyces dermatitidis genome is estimated at 65-75 Mb.
