Teixeira, Marcus de Melo; Almeida, Luiz G. P. de; Barreira, Paula Kubitschek; Alves, Fernanda L.; Kioshima, Érika Seki; Abadio, Ana Karina RodriguesBackground: The fungal genus Sporothrix includes at least four human pathogenic species. One of these species, S. brasiliensis, is the causal agent of a major ongoing zoonotic outbreak of sporotrichosis in Brazil. Elsewhere, sapronoses are caused by S. schenckii and S. globosa. The major aims on this comparative genomic study are: 1) to explore the presence of virulence factors in S. schenckii and S. brasiliens...
Phylogenetic analysis reveals a high prevalence of Sporothrix brasiliensis in f...
Rodrigues, Anderson Messias; Teixeira, Marcus de Melo; Hoog, G. Sybren de; Schubach, Tânia Maria Pacheco; Pereira, Sandro AntonioSporothrix schenckii, previously assumed to be the sole agent of human and animal sporotrichosis, is in fact a species complex. Recently recognized taxa include S. brasiliensis, S. globosa, S. mexicana, and S. luriei, in addition to S. schenckii sensu stricto. Over the last decades, large epidemics of sporotrichosis occurred in Brazil due to zoonotic transmission, and cats were pointed out as key susceptible ho...
