Abstract We herein present a Brazilian guideline for the management of feline sporotrichosis, a mycosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis. This guideline is an effort of a national technical group organized by the Working Group on Sporothrix and Sporotrichosis of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM). This publication intends to provide information on clinicalepidemiological aspects of this zoonosis, as well as a literature revision. Moreover, it gives some practical information on diagnosis and treatment of feline sporotrichosis. It also contains information that can be helpful for the prevention and control of S. brasiliensis transmission. Keywords Cat . Sporotrichosis . Epidemiology . Diagnosis . Treatment .

Introduction Cat-transmitted sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis is an endemic neglected subcutaneous mycosis in Brazil. This zoonosis has been reported in the south and southeast regions for almost 21 years [1]. The geographic expansion of zoonotic sporotrichosis to the northeast region of the country occurred in the last 5 years [2]. Recently, feline and zoonotic cases were reported in other South American countries [3–5].
Sporothrix brasiliensis was only identified in 2007 [6] and included in the pathogenic clade of the Sporothrix genus [7]. Prior to the description of the new pathogenic cryptic species within the Sporothrix genus [6], sporotrichosis was attributed to a single etiological agent, Sporothrix schenckii, known as a low virulent fungal pathogen [1]. The first human case of sporotrichosis was described in 1898, by Benjamin Schenck in the USA and the causative agent was further identified as S. schenckii [8]. In 1907, Adolph Lutz and Affonso Splendore reported sporotrichosis
