Journal Article
Feline sporotrichosis in Asia
2021
Overview
Sporothrix schenckii
sensu
lato
is currently recognized as a species complex with only
Sporothrix brasiliensis
,
Sporothrix schenckii
sensu stricto,
Sporothrix globosa
and
Sporothrix pallida
identified to cause disease in the cat. Feline sporotrichosis in Asia is mainly reported from Malaysia where a single clonal strain of clinical clade D,
Sporothrix schenckii
sensu stricto manifesting low susceptibility to major antifungal classes, has been identified as the agent of the disease.
Sporothrix globosa
has been identified to cause disease from a single cat in Japan while the specific species of agent has not been identified yet for the disease in Thailand. Despite efforts to elucidate and describe the pathogenicity of the agent and the disease it causes, the paucity of data highlights the need for further molecular epidemiological studies to characterize this fungus and the disease it causes in Asia. Its prognosis remains guarded to poor due to issues pertaining to cost, protracted treatment course, zoonotic potential and low susceptibility of some strains to antifungals.
