Description
Paula Fernanda Morais de Sousa and colleagues document the arrival of cat-spread sporotrichosis in Castanhal, a town in Pará state in Brazil's Eastern Amazon. Their 2026 report covers a fungal skin disease passed through scratches, bites or contact with soil and plants. Long neglected, the illness has lately broken out in several regions and proved hard to stamp out.
Of 23 animals suspected of carrying the fungus, 20 were confirmed by lab culture, all showing the expected sores and signs. Cases clustered in animals allowed outdoors and in areas near forest or newly settled land. The team urges fast diagnosis and control steps, since infected cats can pass the fungus to people.
