The description of cryptic species with different pathogenic potentials has changed the
perspectives on sporotrichosis. Sporothrix schenckii causes a benign chronic subcutaneous …

Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis. In this review, we
discuss the virulence factors that have been proven to participate in the S. schenckii-host …

Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and S. brasiliensis are usually associated to
sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous mycosis worldwide distributed. Comparative analyses …

Background Sporotrichosis is a mycosis frequently caused by Sporothrix schenckii,
Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa. The cell wall is a species-specific fungal …

Sporothrix schenckii is a complex of various species of fungus found in soils, plants,
decaying vegetables and other outdoor environments. It is the aetiological agent of …

Sporotrichosis has been attributed for more than a century to one single etiological agent,
Sporothrix schencki. Only eight years ago, it was described that, in fact, the disease is …

Sporotrichosis is a mycosis caused by fungi from the Sporothrix schenckii species complex,
whose prototypical member is Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto. Pattern recognition …

The role of immune cells associated with sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii is
not yet fully clarified. Macrophages through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) can …

Background Melanin is an important virulence factor for Sporothrix globosa, the causative
agent of sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous mycosis that occurs worldwide. Although previous …
