Sporothrix and Sporotrichosis: A South African Perspective on a Growing Global Health Threat
ABSTRACT Sporotrichosis is a disease that arises from a fungal infection caused by members of the Ascomycete genus Sporothrix. The disease has a unique history in South Africa, due to an association with gold mines, where large numbers of mine workers were infected in the 1930s and 1940s.

Thermotolerance in S. cerevisiae as a model to study extracellular vesicle biology
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are thought to mediate intercellular communication for diverse physiology in all organisms. However, EVs are understudied in S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast), a model organism extensively used to resolve the molecular basis of fundamental eukaryotic biology. Here, Logan et al.

Feline sporotrichosis: a case series of itraconazole-resistant Sporothrix brasiliensis infection
The treatment of feline sporotrichosis is a challenge for veterinary clinicians since refractory cases may occur, due either to patient and/or to pharmacological management errors or due to the development of antifungal resistance. Thus, we aimed to describe the therapeutic history of feline cases infected by itraconazole-resistant Sporothrix ...
