Article Synopsis
- Sporotrichosis is a chronic fungal infection primarily affecting cats, with significant implications for public health due to its ability to spread between animals and humans; this study focuses on its trends in Espírito Santo from 2017 to 2022.
- The research collected diagnostic data and utilized statistical and spatial analyses to visualize the distribution of feline sporotrichosis cases, highlighting areas with the highest incidence in urban regions.
- Findings indicate a notable increase in cases, particularly in the cities of Anchieta, Aracruz, and Vila Velha, underscoring the need for effective public health strategies to manage this zoonotic disease, especially in densely populated areas.

Sporotrichosis is a neglected subcutaneous fungal infection that affects humans and animals worldwide caused by species belonging to the genus . This study aims to examine the range of genetic variations, assess molecular epidemiology significance, and explore potential modes of transmission of the species associated with the current sporotrichosis outbreaks in Espírito Santo, Brazil. In this investigation, 262 samples were evaluated, including 142 from humans and 120 from felines, collected between 2016 and 2021.

From March 2019 to April 2020, 154 suspicious cats were evaluated by collecting data and biological samples. The Cohen's kappa coefficient and the Chi-square independence defined the degree of agreement and the accuracy parameters, respectively.
