Sporotrichosis is an important subcutaneous fungal infection of humans and animals in some endemic tropical and subtropical areas. Among domestic species, cats are the most frequently infected.The primary mode of transmission is traumatic inoculation of fungal conidia from plants and soil. Contact with ...

The cases to be reported emphasize the distinctive clinical features, laboratory methods of diagnosis, and epidemiology of cutaneous sporotrichosis and reveal a hitherto unrecognized mode of transmission of the disease. Events will be described chronologically in an attempt to preserve the suspense and ...
In recent decades, there has been a change in the spectrum of disease, its epidemiology, and the disease burden. Sapronotic transmission from the environment (associated with traumatic inoculation through soil, plants, and decaying wood) is the most common source of human sporotrichosis, S. ...
In endemic regions, this disease is mainly associated with plant transmission (sapronosis), the main etiologic agents being S. schenckii and S. globosa [5]. During the last three decades, a new, probable mutant species, S. brasiliensis, has emerged in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil....
There are five cases in Brazil, a hyperendemic area of sporotrichosis associated with zoonotic transmission [56,57], and one in Jilin, China [58]. The age of the cases ranged from 2 to 41 years, and five were women. Both the right and left eyes were affected similarly, and three ...
