Since the late 1990s, there has been a hyperendemic zoonotic transmission in the state of Rio de Janeiro, involving Sporothrix brasiliensis, the most virulent causative species, and a \u201cbelt\u201d was described along the limits between the capital and its outskirts (\u201cBaixada Fluminense\u201d). This study analyzes the distribution of sporotrichosis using secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sinan) of the Rio de Janeiro State Health Department (SES\/RJ) from 2011 to 2015 and from the INI Electronic Patient Record System (Sipec) from 2008 to 2015. Cases diagnosed since the onset of the hyperendemic exceed all previously reported case series of the disease and there is a progressive expansion in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The study suggests the spread of the mycosis to all regions of the state and the expansion of the previously described \u201cbelt\u201d, despite public health measures and changes in its profile over the years, with great social impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof8050434","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]],"date-time":"2022-04-23T21:39:45Z","timestamp":1650749985000},"page":"434","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A Spatial Analysis of the Spread of Hyperendemic Sporotrichosis in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2118-653X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo Mastrangelo Marinho","family":"Falc\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Infectologia Evandro Chagas, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anselmo Rocha","family":"Rom\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e Informa\u00e7\u00e3o Cient\u00edfica e Tecnologia em Sa\u00fade, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00f4nica de Avelar Figueiredo Mafra","family":"Magalh\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e Informa\u00e7\u00e3o Cient\u00edfica e Tecnologia em Sa\u00fade, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Berilo","family":"de Lima Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Infectologia Evandro Chagas, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio Carlos Francesconi","family":"do Valle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Infectologia Evandro Chagas, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco In\u00e1cio","family":"Bastos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e Informa\u00e7\u00e3o Cient\u00edfica e Tecnologia em Sa\u00fade, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Clara","family":"Gutierrez-Galhardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Infectologia Evandro Chagas, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2039-2438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dayvison Francis Saraiva","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Infectologia Evandro Chagas, Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-90, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kwon-Chung, K.J., and Bennett, J.E.
