No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis resulting from the traumatic implantation of pathogenic Sporothrix species. In Brazil, zoonotic transmission plays an important role in the epidemiology of the disease, involving especially cats. The objective of this study was to isolate Sporothrix spp. from cat...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by a group of cryptic species embedded in the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex and Paracoccidioides lutzii. Four species were recently inferred to belong to the P. brasiliensis complex, but the high genetic diversity found in both human and ...

Sporothrix 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...
Sporotrichosis is a subacute or chronic subcutaneous infection, caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenkii complex, occurring in human and animal tissues. Potassium iodide and itraconazole have been used as effective therapy for first-choice treatment, while am- photericin B may be indicated for disseminated infection. However, the adverse effects of potassium iodide and amphotericin B or the long duration of the...
The present study evaluated the maintenance of Sporothrix spp. (6 Sporothrix brasiliensis;6S. schenckii;5 S. mexicana, and 3 S. globosa) in saline at 4 C, and in 10% glycerol plus either 10% lactose or 10% sucrose, at -20 C and -80 C. Viability was assessed after 3, 6, and 9 months of storage, through the recovery of strains on potato dextrose agar and analysis of macro- and micromorphological features. Conidiu...
