Sporotrichosis is a disease caused by thermally dimorphic fungi belonging to the Sporothrix schenckii complex. We report the occurrence of multiple cases of sporotrichosis in cats in Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil, from 2015 to 2019. A set of 21 fungal isolates were collected and the partial sequence of calmodulin (CAL) gene compared. All isolates were identified at phenotypic and molecular level as S. brasiliensis. Phylogenetic analysis showed the isolates clustered in two distinct groups, suggesting the presence of multiple genetic variants of S. brasiliensis in the region.
孢子丝菌病是一种由热双相真菌引起的疾病，属于申克孢子丝菌复合体。我们报告了巴西阿雷格里港（RS） 2015 年至 2019 年期间猫群中发生的多例孢子丝菌病。共收集了 21 株真菌分离株，并对钙调蛋白（CAL）基因的部分序列进行了比较。所有分离株在表型和分子水平上均被鉴定为巴西申克孢子丝菌。系统发育分析显示，分离株聚为两个不同的群，提示该地区存在巴西申克孢子丝菌的多个遗传变异体。
