What lies beyond genetic diversity in sporothrix schenckii species complex?: New insights into virulence profiles, immunogenicity and protein secretion in S. schenckii sensu stricto isolates

摘要

In the last few years there has been an increasing interest in studying the biology of the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii, and particular attention has been focused on its molecular phylogeny which has undoubtedly improved our knowledge of the taxonomy, and most importantly, of the epidemiology of this pathogenic fungus.
