It has two forms: An environmental form that lives in the desert soil.

一种是生活在沙漠土壤中的环境形式。

When the rodent dies, cocci is released back into the soil and morphs back into its environmental form where it waits to be kicked up and inhaled by some other host.

当啮齿动物死亡时，球孢子菌被释放回土壤中，并变形成其环境形式，等待被其他宿主踢起并吸入。

Once inhaled, it settles into the lungs where those spores somehow morph into a new form… a parasitic form that multiplies in your body and grows to a size much larger than its environmental form.

一旦被吸入，它就会进入肺部，在那里，这些孢子会以某种方式变成一种新的、在你体内繁殖的寄生形式，并长到比环境形式大得多的大小。
