Resumo em Inglês
Sporotrichosis is an endemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix
schenckii sensu lato. It has gained importance in recent years due to its worldwide prevalence,
recognition of multiple cryptic species within the originally described species, and
its distinctive ecology, distribution, and epidemiology across the globe. In this review,
we describe the current knowledge of the taxonomy, ecology, prevalence, molecular epidemiology,
and outbreaks due to S. schenckii sensu lato. Despite its omnipresence in
the environment, this fungus has remarkably diverse modes of infection and distribution
patterns across the world. We have delved into the nuances of how sporotrichosis is
intimately linked to different forms of human activities, habitats, lifestyles, and environmental
and zoonotic interactions. The purpose of this review is to stimulate discussion
about the peculiarities of this unique fungal pathogen and increase the awareness of clinicians
andmicrobiologists, especially in regions of high endemicity, to its emergence and
evolving presentations and to kindle further research into understanding the unorthodox
mechanisms by which this fungus afflicts different human populations.
