THE PRESENT AND FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA OF SPOROTRICHOSIS ON THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY OF ZOONOTIC SPOROTRICHOSIS IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
Author
Affilliation
Abstract
Twenty-five years have passed since the initial observation of endemic zoonotic sporotrichosis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Since then, this disease has spread throughout South America. Accompanying the emergence of this mycosis, some progress has been made, including the expansion of a research network in this field and higher visibility of sporotrichosis within government authorities and funding agencies. However, there are still some challenges to curbing the expansion of this disease in the coming years. These include the development of rapid and accurate diagnostic tests, new antifungal drugs, particularly for the treatment of extracutaneous manifestations of sporotrichosis, and more comprehensive care for cats with sporotrichosis. Including these actions in the sporotrichosis research agenda is required so as to change the development of this disease in the years to come.
