Discussion

Clinical and molecular analysis identifies sporotrichosis in domestic cats, highlighting zoonotic risks and diagnostic methods.

Feline sporotrichosis primarily affects young, male cats, posing risks to human health in the Brazilian Amazon.
Epidemiological data indicates cutaneous lesions are commonly found on the nasal planum and ears of infected cats.
PCR-based identification confirmed all isolates as Sporothrix brasiliensis, with specific DNA extraction techniques enhancing reliability.
Antifungal susceptibility showed varying effectiveness, with geometric mean MICs indicating resistance to fluconazole and sensitivity to ketoconazole.

Lazameth-Diniz et al. (2025) studied this question.
