“…According to the literature, similar observations have been described by other authors (LARSSON et al, 1989;OTSUKA;LARSSON, 2004;SCHUBACH et al, 2004a;LARSSON, 2006;MADRID et al, 2008;CROTHERS;WHITE;AFFOLTERT, 2009;PEREIRA et al, 2010;LARSSON, 2013). This trend may be caused by males being allowed greater extradomiciliary access than females, which would result in more involvement in fights (for females or territory) and more predation.…”

“…The geographic distribution and epidemiology of the disease suggest that the climate, temperature and relative humidity of the air influence the perpetuation of the fungus under saprobiotic conditions (CAMPBELL, 1998). The disease has been frequently diagnosed in the southeast of Brazil, especially in the state of Rio de Janeiro (SCHUBACH et al, 2004a;SCHUBACH et al, 2005SCHUBACH et al, , 2006BARROS et al, 2010;PEREIRA et al, 2010). The disease is also found in São Paulo (OTSUKA; LARSSON, 2004;LARSSON, 2013) and, to a lesser extent, Minas Gerais (NOGUEIRA et al, 1995) and the state of Rio Grande do Sul in the southern regions of the country (NOBRE et al, 2002;MADRID et al, 2008).…”

“…The animal classification is based on human classification and it has limitations, especially when applied to cats (a high frequency of fungemia associated with the presence of multiple cutaneous lesions are observed in feline cases). In many cases the feline sporotrichosis resembles the disseminated form observed in human patients (SCHUBACH et al, 2004b). Skin lesions tend to be grouped and localized at the site of inoculation ("sporotrichotic chancre") of the agent (GROSS et al, 2009;LARSSON, 2011;WANKE, 2012), which is the most common manifestation that is observed in dogs (WERNER;WERNER, 1994).…”

“…In cats, the regional lymph nodes can be affected (the cutaneous lymphatic form of the disease), and the self-inoculation of the organisms can also elicit new lesions. New lesions occur when cats lick their infected wounds and later lick areas that are free of the infection (SCHUBACH et al, 2004a;GROSS et al, 2009;LARSSON, 2011). The systemic form of the disease is rare in humans and dogs (BARROS et al, 2001), however in cats it occurs more frequently and can result from the aerial transmission of spores (CAMPBELL, 1998).…”

“…The systemic form of the disease is rare in humans and dogs (BARROS et al, 2001), however in cats it occurs more frequently and can result from the aerial transmission of spores (CAMPBELL, 1998). This form of the disease is most commonly observed concomitantly with immunosuppression that is caused by corticosteroids (GROSS et al, 2009), but cats may present a systemic form of the disease even in the absence of apparent immunosupression (SCHUBACH et al, 2004a).…”

The present study retrospectively characterized canine and feline sporotrichosis in male and female individuals of various ages. The patients had been attended at the Dermatology Service of a university veterinary hospital and the diagnosis had been confirmed by isolation and identification of Sporothrix spp in culture media. The study obtained and analyzed medical records from a period of 19 years (1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011). From the evaluated sample, 37 animals were considered for the study, including eight (21.6%) dogs and 29 (78.4%) cats. The patients were mostly male (30/37-86.5%) and had mean ages of 79.5 months for dogs and 36.3 months for cats. Most of the patients had no defined breed (25/37-67.6%). The localized cutaneous form of the disease was most prevalent (25/37-67.6%), and all cases presented positive histopathological diagnoses. Among the cats with sporotrichosis, infection was also observed in animals and/or humans that lived with these cats in 17/37 (45.9%) cases. However, none of the affected dogs appeared to spread the infection, as there were no clinical signs that were consistent with the disease. Sporotrichosis was most prevalent among male mixed-breed cats, most of which had a clinical presentation that was consistent with the localized cutaneous form of the disease. In the studied sample, cats constituted an important source of infection for animals and humans living in the same household.

Foram obtidas e analizadas as fichas clínicas de um período de 19 anos (1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011). Da casuística avaliada, 37 animais foram considerados para o estudo, incluindo 8 (21,6%) cães e 29 (78,4%) gatos. Os pacientes foram na sua maioria machos (30/37-86,5%) com média de idade de 79,5 meses entre os caninos e 36,3 meses dentre os felinos, sendo a maioria dos pacientes sem precisa definição racial (25/37-67,6%). A forma tegumentar localizada da enfermidade foi a mais prevalente (25/37-67,6%), sendo que na totalidade dos casos o diagnóstico histopatológico apresentou-se positivo. Em relação aos gatos esporotricóticos, observou-se infecção em animais e/ou humanos que com eles coabitavam em 17/37 (45,9%) dos casos. Já dentre os cães, nenhum pareceu disseminar a infecção, uma vez que não foram observados manifestações clínicas compatíveis com a enfermidade nos seus contatantes. A esporotricose foi mais prevalente em felinos machos, sem precisa definição racial e, na sua maioria, com apresentação clínica compatível com a forma cutânea localizada ...
