Abstract: Zoonotic sporotrichosis has undergone a geographical expansion in Brazil in the last decade. Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is the second state of the country in which a number of feline sporotrichosis cases have been described. Since cats are the main zoonotic source of infection, this study aimed to describe 100 cases of human sporotrichosis occurring in the last 5 years in the southern region of RS, Brazil. In addition, we aimed to illustrate the zoonotic importance of the disease, describing four cases in the same… Show more

“…These rates have grown, especially in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which has seen a four-fold increase of S. brasiliensis infections in humans from 2010 to 2014 [166] and the city Rio de Janeiro, which is hyperendemic, possibly due to overcrowding [167]. Between 2012 and 2017, 101 human cases of zoonotic sporotrichosis were reported [168].…”

“…Brazil has had sporotrichosis outbreaks where the main means of transmission occur due to contact with infected felines. This is a very particular disease transmission profile of urban localities (cities), whose residents adopt the cat as a pet [14,16,17,22]. In the rural locations studied, the main domestic animal adopted by the residents was the dog raised in the peridomicile.…”

“…antigens in intradermal or serological tests but show no sign of the clinical disease. On the other hand, patients with sporotrichosis-disease have cutaneous and serological positive tests and present clinical signs of the disease [13,14]. In the last years in Brazil, a significant increase in confirmed clinical cases of sporotrichosis in cats and in humans leads to an interest in studies on this disease [15][16][17].…”

“…A primeira epidemia de esporotricose zoonótica aconteceu no Rio de Janeiro (BARROS et al, 2007), cuja região urbana é atualmente considerada hiperendêmica para a doença (GUTIERREZ-GALHARDO et al, 2015;FALCÃO et al, 2019b). Esta zoonose tem se dispersado para outros estados ao longo das duas últimas décadas (GREMIÃO et al, 2017) e se configura como um importante problema de saúde pública no país (RODRIGUES et al, 2013;MONTENEGRO et al, 2014;BRANDOLT et al, 2018).…”

“…Uma implicação relevante da crescente incidência da esporotricose felina é o provável aumento da transmissão zoonótica, como sugerem estudos anteriores (RODRIGUES et al, 2016;GREMIÃO et al, 2017;BRANDOLT et al, 2018 A esporotricose felina é um problema de saúde única em periferias e a dificuldade de intervir nos seus determinantes sociais constitui-se uma barreira para o controle e prevenção da doença. Em Guarulhos houve uma epidemia que provavelmente continua em curso e foram identificadas áreas que devem ser priorizadas pelas ações de vigilância.…”
