Sporothrix, qué sabemos del agente causal de una saprozoonosis en expansión

Abstract

Sporothrix sp. harbors 53 species, but infections are typically caused by S. brasiliensis, S. schenckii or S. globosa. Historically, sapronotic transmission (from the environment) was the most common source of this fungus, but zoonotic infections have become increasingly common due to the emergence of S. brasiliensis.
