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.

Differential Recognition of Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa by Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages and Dendritic Cells. [PDF]

Infect Drug Resist, 2023
Sporotrichosis is a mycosis frequently caused by Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa. The cell wall is a species-specific fungal structure with a direct role in activating the host's immune response. The current knowledge about anti-Sporothrix immunity comes from studies using S. schenckii or S. brasiliensis and murine

First Cases of Feline Sporotrichosis Caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis in Paraguay. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel), 2023
Sporothrix brasiliensis is an emerging fungal pathogen causing cat-transmitted sporotrichosis, an epi-zoonosis affecting humans, cats and dogs in Brazil and now spreading to neighboring South American countries. Here, we report the first two autochthonous cases of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis in Paraguay.

Differential Recognition of Clinically Relevant Sporothrix Species by Human Granulocytes

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Sporotrichosis is a cutaneous mycosis that affects humans and animals and has a worldwide distribution. This infection is mainly caused by Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa.

Disseminated sporotrichosis caused by <i>Sporothrix brasiliensis</i> with testicular involvement. [PDF]

Med Mycol Case Rep
Sporotrichosis is a growing public health concern especially due Sporothrix brasiliensis. We report a case of disseminated sporotrichosis involving the meninges, lungs, and testicles in a 35-year-old homeless man from Curitiba, Brazil. Fungal culture, histopathology, and molecular identification confirmed S. brasiliensis infection.

An anti-adhesive peptide found in extracellular vesicles from <i>Sporothrix brasiliensis</i> and <i>Sporothrix schenckii</i>. [PDF]

Cell Surf
Sporothrix brasiliensis and Sporothrix schenckii are major causative agents of sporotrichosis, a neglected fungal disease with growing public health relevance. These pathogens release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that contribute to host-pathogen interactions, yet their small molecule content remains unexplored.

CRISPR-based tools for targeted genetic manipulation in pathogenic Sporothrix species

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Sporothrix brasiliensis is an emerging fungal pathogen frequently associated with zoonotic transmission of sporotrichosis by contaminated cats. Within 25 years, the disease has spread not only throughout Brazil but now to neighboring countries in Latin ...

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.

In vitro evaluation of Sporothrix brasiliensis biotherapic

International Journal of High Dilution Research - ISSN 1982-6206, 2022
Background: Sporothrix brasiliensis is one of the most virulent zoonosis which affects animals and humans. This fungus is responsible for subcutaneous infection and its contamination is possible through trauma to the skin. Sporotrichosis is highly prevalent in feline. And Rio de Janeiro appears to have the highest occurrence of cases.

Sporotrichosis Caused by Non-Wild Type Sporothrix brasiliensis Strains. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2022
The zoonotic transmission of sporotrichosis due to Sporothrix brasiliensis occurs largely in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil since the 1990´s. Most patients infected with S. brasiliensis respond well to itraconazole or terbinafine. However, a few patients have a slow response or do not respond to the treatment and develop a chronic infection.
