A Novel In Vitro Host−Pathogen Model for Felis catus and Sporothrix Zoonotic Species Investigation

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 65, Issue 10, October 2025.
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.
