Zoonotic feline sporotrichosis: a small case cluster in Perth, Western Australia, and a review of previous feline cases from Australia. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Sporotrichosis is caused by species of the fungus Sporothrix that affect human and several animal species. The transmission of sporotrichosis is classically from an environmental source following penetrating injury. The alternative zoonotic route has gained attention due to the rapid and significant spread of cat‐transmitted sporotrichosis in South ...

Molecular epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility patterns ofSporothrix schenckiiisolates from a cat-transmitted epidemic of sporotrichosis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2008
Since 1998 a cat-transmitted epidemic of sporotrichosis has been observed in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil. Besides the lymphocutaneous and fixed forms, other presentations, such as disseminated cutaneous and mucosal involvement, as well as for the first time, erythema nodosum and erythema multiforme have been reported associated with sporotrichosis ...

Phylogenetic analysis reveals a high prevalence of Sporothrix brasiliensis in feline sporotrichosis outbreaks. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Sporothrix schenckii, previously assumed to be the sole agent of human and animal sporotrichosis, is in fact a species complex. Recently recognized taxa include S. brasiliensis, S. globosa, S. mexicana, and S. luriei, in addition to S.

A Novel In Vitro Host-Pathogen Model for Felis catus and Sporothrix Zoonotic Species Investigation. [PDF]

J Basic Microbiol
ABSTRACT Hyperendemic zoonotic sporotrichosis, attributed to Sporothrix brasiliensis, presents a significant public health challenge in Brazil. Cats exhibit severe symptoms and high fungal loads, though their susceptibility is unclear. Sporothrix schenckii can also cause feline disease, primarily seen in Asia.
