Virulence Factors of Sporothrix schenckii. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2022 Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis. In this review, we discuss the virulence factors that have been proven to participate in the S. schenckii-host interaction. Among these known factors, we can find cell wall glycoproteins, adhesins, melanin, extracellular vesicles, and dimorphism.

The Role of Macrophages in the Host’s Defense against Sporothrix schenckii [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 The role of immune cells associated with sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii is not yet fully clarified. Macrophages through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) can recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of Sporothrix, engulf

Sporothrix schenckii and sporotrichosis [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2006 For a long time sporotrichosis has been regarded to have a low incidence in Brazil; however, recent studies demonstrate that not only the number of reported cases but also the incidence of more severe or atypical clinical forms of the disease are ...

Keratinocyte Response to Infection with Sporothrix schenckii. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2022 Sporotrichosis is a subacute, or chronic mycosis caused by traumatic inoculation of material contaminated with the fungus Sporothrix schenckii which is part of the Sporothrix spp. complex. The infection is limited to the skin, although its progression to more severe systemic or disseminated forms remains possible.
