Sporothrix Explained
Sporothrix is a ubiquitous genus of soil-dwelling fungus discovered by Schenck in 1898,[1] and studied in more detail by Hektoen and Perkins.[2] The first described and best known species is Sporothrix schenckii, the causative agent of rose handler's disease.[3] New environmental,[4] and pathogenic,[5] [6] species have been discovered with the potential for more to be found as molecular techniques advance.
Other species in this genus include Sporothrix brasiliensis and Sporothrix globosa.[7]
