Sporotrichosis, a mycosis caused by pathogenic species of the genus Sporothrix, affects diverse species of mammals. Until 2007, Sporothrix schenckii was considered the unique etiologic agent of sporotrichosis. Canine sporotrichosis is a poorly reported disease, and the majority of cases are from...

The dimorphic fungi, Histoplasma capsulatum, Paracoccidioides spp. complex and Sporothrix schenckii complex are the causative agents of histoplasmosis, paracoccidioidomycosis and sporotrichosis, respectively. The aim of this study was to detect antibodies against H. capsulatum, Paracoccidioides...

Sporotrichosis is a contagious subcutaneous mycosis caused by dimorphic fungi of the Sporothrix schenckii complex, which affects several domestic animals, including man, with Sporothrix brasiliensis being the main species responsible for epizootics in different Brazilian states. In the canine...

Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis, caused by the fungal complex Sporothrix schenckii, and composed of several species of the genus. Although diseased dogs show the minimal risk of infection to humans, such susceptibility is non-null and, therefore, should be considered. In the Northeast of...

Sporotrichosis is a chronic, granulomatous and usually lymphocutaneous infection of animals and humans, caused by a dimorphic fungus, Sporothrix schenckii complex. The disease in dogs is considered rare, however, in the last years a crescent registration of cases was observed in Brazil, especially...

This paper aimed at describing the first case of canine sporotrichosis in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Case: A 10 year-old Bull Terrier male dog was presented with nodular non-ulcerated lesions on the head and nodular ulcerated lesion on the nasal planum. The dog had a previous diagnosis of a low-grade...

Purpose. Motivated by increasing reports of antifungal resistance in human and animal sporotrichosis, this study evaluated the chemical composition, cytotoxicity and anti-Sporothrix brasiliensis activity of extracts of marjoram (Origanum majorana) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). Methodology. ...

Sporotrichosis occurs worldwide, and the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a main endemic area, with a large number of human and animal cases in the last 19 years. This mycosis is more frequently described in cats rather than in dogs. There are a limited number of oral antifungal...

Background: The dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii and the yeasts of the Cryptococcus complex are important fungal pathogens of humans and animals that cause sporotrichosis and cryptococcosis, respectively. Both fungi are saprophytes of soils rich in organic matter and infect the host through...

The sporotrichosis is an endemic disease with cosmopolitan distribution, caused by the fungi Sporothrix schenckii complex, which affects animals and humans. In Brazil, sporotrichosis is an emerging zoonosis, recently included in the National List of Compulsory Notification of diseases, injuries and ...
