An epidemic of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis has become a major public health threat in Brazil. We report the first cases of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis outside South America, including the first cases in the United Kingdom. We provide an overview of the public health implications and outbreak response, highlighting the importance of vigilance among clinicians and veterinarians worldwide.
An epidemic of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis has emerged as a major public health threat in Brazil in recent decades. We report the first three cases of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis outside South America, and the first ever cases of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis in the United Kingdom. We outline the public health implications and outbreak response and encourage clinicians and veterinarians worldwide to be vigilant for sporotrichosis in cats and cat owners.
