Environmental Isolation of Sporothrix brasiliensis in an Area With Recurrent Feline Sporotrichosis Cases [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Sporotrichosis has been expanding throughout the Brazilian territory in recent years. New outbreaks have emerged, and consequently, the sporotrichosis agents, mainly Sporothrix brasiliensis, should remain in the environment somehow. Therefore, the aim of

<i>Sporothrix brasiliensis</i>: Epidemiology, Therapy, and Recent Developments. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2023 Sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis is an emergent mycosis that is now a worldwide concern. One important step to sporotrichosis control is its correct treatment. However, limitations abound; thus, new antifungals, mainly focused on S. brasiliensis, are urgently needed.
