In this review, we discuss the virulence factors that have been proven to participate in the S. schenckii-host interaction. Among these known factors, we can find cell wall glycoproteins, adhesins, melanin, extracellular vesicles, and dimorphism. Furthermore, the morphological transition of S. schenckii in response to environmental conditions such as pH and temperature represents a means by which the fungus is able to establish mycosis in mammals. One of the key features in the development of sporotrichosis is the adhesion of the fungus to the host extracellular matrix. This event represents the first step to developing the mycosis, which involves adhesins such as the glycoproteins Gp70, Hsp60, and Pap1, which play a key role during the infection. The production of melanin helps the fungus to survive longer in the tissues and to neutralize or diminish many of the host\u2019s attacks, which is why it is also considered a key factor in pathogenesis. Today, the study of human fungal pathogens\u2019 virulence factors is a thriving area of research. Although we know some of the virulence factors in S. schenckii, much remains to be understood about the complex process of sporotrichosis development and the factors involved during the infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof8030318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,20]],"date-time":"2022-03-20T21:30:14Z","timestamp":1647811814000},"page":"318","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Virulence Factors of Sporothrix schenckii"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Laura Cristina","family":"Garc\u00eda-Carnero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departmet of Biology, Exact and Natural Sciences Division, Universidad de Guanajuato, Noria Alta s\/n, Col.
