Nested PCR for the Diagnosis of Feline Sporotrichosis From Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Samples Using Different DNA Extraction Protocols

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Sporotrichosis is a chronic, cosmopolitan granulomatous mycosis that affects humans and animals. The infection is caused by the dimorphic fungi Sporothrix sp. The aims of the present study were to evaluate, standardize and validate a nested PCR technique

Beyond Domestic Cats: Environmental Detection of Sporothrix brasiliensis DNA in a Hyperendemic Area of Sporotrichosis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Journal of Fungi, 2022
In Brazil, sporotrichosis has transitioned from a rural to urban disease, driven by a shift in the initiation of infection from the accidental inoculation of organic matter to the traumatic implantation of the fungus by cats.

Osteoarticular Sporotrichosis in a Brazilian Endemic Setting: Associated Factors and Outcomes

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Osteoarticular infection is an emerging complication of sporotrichosis, often leading to a significant increase in morbidity and longer treatment. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of osteoarticular sporotrichosis (OS) in southeastern Brazil (2014–2024) using clinical, epidemiological, and molecular data.
