During a recent taxonomic revision of the genus Fonsecaea, three species were recognized to be commonly involved in chromoblastomycosis, viz. F. pedrosoi, F. monophora, and F. nubica. F. monophora, segregated from F. pedrosoi on molecular grounds [5], was shown to have a more variable ...
All age groups can be affected; however, it is more common in adults. Injury due to a splinter or thorn causes a primary inoculation or several inoculations at once2. Lesions most commonly occur on the hand or arm2. Its subsequent course depends on several factors, including host immune ...

were more commonly isolated from soil of different regions or provinces of 16 countries. Most environmental isolates were identified as S. schenckii, whereas S. pallida, S. brasiliensis, S. globosa, and S. mexicana were rare. We estimate that medically relevant Sporothrix spp. grow in the ...

Others exoantigens such as secreted proteins of 46, 60, 90, and 110 kDa are commonly secreted by S. schenckii, S. brasiliensis, and S. globosa [34]. 4. Host Immune Response 4.1. Cellular Response As has been mentioned already, the S. schenckii complex is composed of closely related ...
