It also seeks to correlate these findings with human diagnoses, thereby underscoring the importance of the One Health approach in implementing prophylactic measures and protocols for evaluating both positive and suspected cases. In August 2023, a cat diagnosed with sporotrichosis was presented at the UNICENTRO Veterinary School Clinic. Accompanying the cat was its guardian, who exhibited characteristic lesions of the disease. An epidemiological study was then initiated and spanned from August 2023 to March 2024. Cytological tests were performed on the suspected cases. From the epidemiological survey, 21 animals were tested. A total of 15 cats were confirmed to have sporotrichosis; all were unneutered males of the moggy breed with access to outdoor environments. Some pet owners also displayed symptoms and lesions consistent with sporotrichosis. Considering the recent surge in sporotrichosis cases in Brazil, along with its zoonotic potential and significance for public health\u2014and considering its status as a notifiable disease\u2014epidemiological studies such as this one are vital. They help in understanding the spread of the disease and are crucial for the development and implementation of prophylactic measures to protect human and animal health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens14030225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,25]],"date-time":"2025-02-25T06:13:18Z","timestamp":1740463998000},"page":"225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["One Health: Action in Brazilian Cases of Sporotrichosis in Humans and Cats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Geovana","family":"Motta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Veterinary Sciences, State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"},{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aline","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"},{"name":"Graduate Program in Animal Science, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, UFPR, Palotina 85950-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Veterinary Sciences, State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"},{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Flavio","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Department of Agriculture and Livestock of the Municipality of Turvo, Turvo 85150-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margarete","family":"Schinemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Department of Agriculture and Livestock of the Municipality of Turvo, Turvo 85150-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nariany","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Health Department of Turvo, Turvo 85150-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pricila","family":"Bruger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Health Department of Turvo, Turvo 85150-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kauane","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Department of Agriculture and Livestock of the Municipality of Turvo, Turvo 85150-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luciana","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9208-3314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Moya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meire","family":"Seki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9816-9610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriano","family":"Carrasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (LADIP), State University of the Midwest of Paran\u00e1 (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava 85040-167, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1016\/j.puhe.2021.06.002","article-title":"The outstanding relevance of the One Health approach","volume":"198","author":"Bellizzi","year":"2021","journal-title":"Public Health"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3198","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.00808-07","article-title":"Sporothrix brasiliensis, S. globosa, and S. mexicana, three new Sporothrix species of clinical interest","volume":"45","author":"Marimon","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
