Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Colombian clinical isolates of Sporothrix spp. [PDF]
Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2023 Introduction. For over a century, Sporothrix schenckii was considered the sole species responsible for sporotrichosis. In 2007, scientific community confirmed the disease could be caused by various Sporothrix species.

Selective depletion of regulatory T cells enhances the immunogenicity of a recombinant-based vaccine against Sporothrix spp [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionRegulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to limit the protective immune response against pathogenic species of the fungus Sporothrix spp, the causal agent of sporotrichosis. However, the specific function of Tregs during vaccination against
