Article Synopsis
- - Sporotrichosis, a fungal infection with the potential to be transmitted from animals to humans, has been increasingly reported in northeastern Brazil, especially within the Seventh Health District of Maceió-AL.
- - A study involving 23 cats with suspected skin lesions found that 15 were positive for the causative fungus, highlighting a concerning trend among predominantly male, young, unneutered felines in areas with poor sanitation.
- - Several owners were also affected after being bitten or scratched by infected cats, demonstrating the disease’s zoonotic risk and underscoring the need for better monitoring and public health measures to prevent further outbreaks in Alagoas.
