Geographic Expansion of Sporotrichosis, Brazil

Isabella Dib Ferreira Gremião et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2020 Mar.

Abstract

Brazil has experienced geographic expansion of zoonotic sporotrichosis. Social problems in the country contribute substantially to the expansion. A comprehensive sporotrichosis control program is beyond the sphere of public health. A One Health approach is needed to control the disease in animals and humans.

Keywords: Brazil; One Health; Sporothrix; Sporotrichosis; fungi; mycosis; public health; zoonoses.
