A Cautionary Tale of Exophiala spinifera Infection in Two Cats: Case Reports and Literature Review

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This case series reports two independent cases of Exophiala spinifera infection in adult male neutered domestic cats, both referred following misdiagnosis. To date, only six cases associated with this organism have been reported in domestic cats, excluding those described herein. These also represent the first documented cases of E. spinifera infection

Molecular Epidemiology of Sporothrix schenckii.

Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2000
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of clinical and environmental isolates of Sporothrix schenckii was investigated. Among mtDNA RFLP patterns with Hae III, of 14 environmental isolates morphologically identified as S. schenckii, only 2 isolates were confirmed as S.

Sporothrix schenckii fungemia without disseminated sporotrichosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1992
Fungemia is a rare complication of Sporothrix schenckii infection and has always been associated with disseminated sporotrichosis. We describe an immunocompetent patient with localized lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis from whose blood the fungus was isolated. A lysis-centrifugation blood culture system may have improved our ability to detect low-level S.

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis

VIEW, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

A rare case of disseminated Sporothrix schenckii with bone marrow involvement in a patient with idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia

IDCases, 2017
Sporothrix schenckii is a pathogen with a predilection for dissemination in immunocompromised individuals, often with HIV. We report a case of disseminated sporotrichosis in an unfortunate 25 year old male (without HIV) who was originally treated for ...

Environmental isolation of Sporothrix spp. in veterinary settings

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Background This study investigated environmental contamination by Sporothrix spp. in a veterinary facility specialised in treating cats with sporotrichosis. Methods Twelve samples were collected from frequently touched surfaces and cages of three cats at different treatment stages. Sampling sites included a procedure table, door handle, faucet,

Zoonotic Sporotrichosis in Paraguay: A Public Health Alert

Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Cat‐transmitted sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis is increasingly reported in the last three decades within Brazil. Recently, other South American countries like Argentina and Chile also reported cases, while the number of reported cases in Paraguay, a Brazilian neighbour, remains quite limited with 10 feline and ...

A Novel In Vitro Host−Pathogen Model for Felis catus and Sporothrix Zoonotic Species Investigation

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 65, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Hyperendemic zoonotic sporotrichosis, attributed to Sporothrix brasiliensis, presents a significant public health challenge in Brazil. Cats exhibit severe symptoms and high fungal loads, though their susceptibility is unclear. Sporothrix schenckii can also cause feline disease, primarily seen in Asia.
