Sporotrichosis is caused by dimorphic, pathogenic species from the genus Sporothrix, which are found in nature as saprophytes in decaying vegetation and soil. Classic transmission occurs after traumatic inoculation while manipulating contaminated plant material, and zoonotic transmission is uncommon. The genus Sporothrix contains relevant species with diverse clinical features, infection routes and virulence traits. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
