is a crucial pathogenic bacterium in tropical aquaculture. This bacterium was recently isolated from tambaqui (), a commercially important fish species in Brazil. This study assessed the antimicrobial susceptibility, pathogenicity, and genetic diversity of the tambaqui-derived isolates.

- Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection in cats caused by Sporothrix spp., which can affect both skin and internal tissues.
- Over a year, a study examined 102 euthanized cats suspected of having sporotrichosis, utilizing various diagnostic methods including macroscopic, cytological, histopathological, and IHC examinations.
- The findings revealed that all cats tested positive for the infection, with the most effective diagnostic methods being IHC and cytology, and highlighted a range of skin and extracutaneous symptoms, including pneumonia and meningitis, indicating the need for further research into the severity and chronic nature of the disease.
Case Summary: An adult cat presented with neurological signs and marked icterus. Clinical pathology tests detected increased serum alkaline phosphatase levels, as well as alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, unconjugated bilirubin and conjugated bilirubin above the normal reference intervals. Ultrasonography showed hepatomegaly and a dilated gall bladder.
