“…Growth was followed by the appearance of a black discoloration in the wood (24), which was also observed in contaminated oat grains (16). S. schenckii also caused rot in experimentally inoculated carnations (15). The influence of climatic and other environmental factors on the distribution of S. schenckii in nature is not clear.…”

The idea that some organisms may have the ability to establish themselves and thrive within both plant and warm-blooded-animal tissues has received the attention of comparatively few workers. The vast gulf between the two forms of life, in structure, composition, and many environmental factors, has seemed to preclude the thought that both could be favorable hosts to the same organism. fore, a well established fact.

“…Experimental infections with Sporothrix schenckii have been induced in a variety of laboratory and domestic animals, including rats (4-6, 10,11,15,17,19,21,24,25,28,33,39,40), mice (1,2,14,15,22,29,30,32,34,(36)(37)(38)41), rabbits (15,31,34,43), guinea pigs (11,13,15,32,34,40,41,43), dogs (7,12,15,20,34), monkeys (3,16,17), hamsters (26,27,35), and cats (8,9). Unfortunately, most of these infections were induced by intraperitoneal inoculations which initiated a s...…”

Syrian hamsters were infected with Sporothrix schenckii by subcutaneous footpad inoculation. Two types of infection could be uniformly induced: a selflimited, lymphatic infection resembling the classical disease in humans, and a generalized nonfatal infection. An infecting dose of approximately 5,300 yeast cells produced the localized subcutaneous-lymphatic disease which was limited to a single limb. In contrast, a 1,000-fold increase in the inoculum temporarily overwhelmed the animals' defense mechanisms, producing a systemic infection involving the liver and spleen. These models were used to demonstrate the development of increased resistance to subsequent infection following either infection or active immunization with ribosomal fractions or trypsinized cell wall antigens of S. schenckii incorporated in Freund complete adjuvant. Agglutination titers were detectable in all animals that were either infected or immunized. In one group of infected animals, the titers persisted for at least 1 year after three booster doses of Formalin-killed S. schenckii. The ability to produce an infection in hamsters which closely resembles the disease seen in humans makes this animal a good model with which to study experimental sporotrichosis.
