Article Synopsis
- - Sporotrichosis, a fungal infection mostly spread by animals or plants, has become a major public health concern in South America, particularly with cat transmission contributing to its rise.
- - A study identified over 118,000 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from various genomes, leading to the development of 15 highly polymorphic markers for effective genetic analysis of the disease.
- - Genetic analysis revealed three distinct clusters of sporotrichosis populations in Brazil, with significant evidence of genetic diversity and a migration pattern from Rio de Janeiro to northeastern Brazil, highlighting the disease's spread.
Clinical diagnosis of influenza has low sensitivity in infants and children. Signs and symptoms are non-specific and similar to those of other respiratory viruses. Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) with adequate sensitivity and specificity used at the point of care can be useful for an etiologic diagnosis of influenza in primary care.
