Sporothrix brasiliensis genetic toolbox
Sporotrichosis is the world's most prevalent and distributed subcutaneous mycosis. S. brasiliensis species is reported as the most virulent species, exhibiting the worst clinical manifestations, but the infection and virulence mechanisms of Sporothrix spp. still lack clarification.

Introduction Disseminated sporotrichosis is an uncommon presentation of this infectious disease, primarily observed in immunocompromised patients. Here, we present a case of disseminated sporotrichosis occurring in an immunosenescent patient. Case presentation An 81‐year‐old man presented to our clinic with skin ulcers in the scalp, back, right arm ...

A case of sporotrichosis caused by different Sporothrix brasiliensis strains: mycological, molecular, and virulence analyses [PDF]
BACKGROUND Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by dimorphic pathogenic fungi belonging to the Sporothrix genus. Pathogenic Sporothrix species typically produce melanin, which is known to be a virulence factor.

Systemic Sporotrichosis With Testicular Involvement: Literature Review and Case Report
Introduction Sporotrichosis is an endemic fungal infection in Brazil, caused by a dimorphic fungus of the genus Sporothrix. Transmission occurs through traumatic inoculation from soil, contaminated plants, and zoonotic sources, mainly from cats, as well as through inhalation of conidia.

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.

Pentathiepins are an understudied molecular prism of biological activities
Pentathiepins are cyclic sulfur‐rich compounds that possess remarkable chemical stability, unique structural features, and an extraordinary variety of biological activities. Nonetheless, they have only drawn the attention of the scientific community on a few occasions, generally after the serendipitous discovery of some of their properties. This review

Sporotrichosis is caused by species of the fungus Sporothrix that affect human and several animal species. The transmission of sporotrichosis is classically from an environmental source following penetrating injury. The alternative zoonotic route has gained attention due to the rapid and significant spread of cat‐transmitted sporotrichosis in South ...
