“…For animals with a positive diagnosis, there was predominance of young animals of known age (1 to 3 years) (33.33%) and males (64.76%). Similar results were obtained in studies on endemic and outbreak regions in Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Recife [9,10,14,15]. Majority of the animals was not spayed (68.57%); however, it was not possible to verify a significant association (p > 0.05) between castration and positive diagnosis.…”

“…No Brasil, a doença acomete principalmente a região sul e sudeste, por conta de aspectos sazonais de clima quente e úmido destas regiões, interligadas a fatores culturais existentes no Brasil como o abandono de cães e gatos e a falta de guarda responsável de animais domésticos (SILVA et al, 2013;SILVA et al, 2018).…”

“…A escassez de higiene em locais de vegetação e a ausência de cuidados com os animais estão associadas aos locais de maior número de casos, sendo fatores econômicos e sociais interligados aos números de infecção. O fungo pode viver de forma saprófita e se tornar patogênico em humanos e em diversas espécies animais (BARROS et al, 2010;SILVA et al, 2012;POESTER et al, 2018;SILVA et al, 2018). A falta de informação sobre o agente infeccioso, ligado à hábitos da espécie felina como escavar o solo e afiação ungueal, tornaram-se fatores de risco à disseminação da esporotricose e à saúde pública (POESTER et al, 2018; .…”
