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.

Sporothrix schenckii and Sporotrichosis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2011
SUMMARYSporotrichosis, which is caused by the dimorphic fungusSporothrix schenckii, is currently distributed throughout the world, especially in tropical and subtropical zones. Infection generally occurs by traumatic inoculation of soil, plants, and organic matter contaminated with the fungus.

Skin Mast Cells Contribute to Sporothrix schenckii Infection [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Sporothrix schenckii (S. schenckii), a dimorphic fungus, causes sporotrichosis. Mast cells (MCs) have been described to be involved in skin fungal infections. The role of MCs in cutaneous sporotrichosis remains largely unknown. Objectives:

Molecular identification of Sporothrix species in a hyperendemic area in Peru

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2021
To date, there have been no molecular typing studies to identify the Sporothrix species circulating in Abancay, a hyperendemic area of sporotrichosis in Peru.

Epidemiology of Clinical Sporotrichosis in the Americas in the Last Ten Years

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Background: Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by species of the Sporothrix genus. Presently, the prevalence of sporotrichosis in the Americas is unknown, so this study aims to analyze the cases reported in the past 10 years.

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.
