Abstract

The research addresses zoonotic sporotrichosis in Brazil, particularly caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis, highlighting its epidemiological severity. Transmission occurs through contact with sick animals, especially felines, and diagnosis in humans is challenging due to the low fungal load in the lesions. The study analyzed data from Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) and Zoonosis Surveillance Unit (UVZ) from January 2017 to March 2023, carried out in Contagem, Minas Gerais. Geospatial tools and statistical analysis revealed a significant increase in cases, peaking in 2021 for felines and 2022 for humans. The geospatial analysis highlighted areas of higher incidence, suggesting a correlation between human and feline populations. The research contributes to the understanding of sporotrichosis in Contagem, emphasizing the importance of integrated approaches for surveillance and control strategies, aiming to mitigate impacts on the local community.

人类和家猫的人畜共患孢子丝虫病：2017 年至 2023 年巴西东南部的通报概况和时空分布情况

该研究涉及巴西的人畜共患孢子丝菌病，特别是由巴西孢子丝菌引起的孢子丝菌病，强调了其流行病学的严重性。传播途径是与患病动物（尤其是猫科动物）接触，由于病变部位的真菌量较少，因此对人类的诊断具有挑战性。该研究分析了米纳斯吉拉斯州孔塔吉姆市从2017年1月至2023年3月的应报告疾病信息系统（SINAN）和人畜共患病监测单位（UVZ）的数据。地理空间工具和统计分析显示，病例显著增加，其中猫科动物的病例在 2021 年达到高峰，人类的病例在 2022 年达到高峰。地理空间分析突出了发病率较高的地区，表明人类和猫科动物之间存在关联。这项研究有助于人们了解孔塔甘姆的孢子丝菌病，强调了综合监测方法和控制策略的重要性，旨在减轻对当地社区的影响。

期刊介绍： Preventive Veterinary Medicine is one of the leading international resources for scientific reports on animal health programs and preventive veterinary medicine. The journal follows the guidelines for standardizing and strengthening the reporting of biomedical research which are available from the CONSORT, MOOSE, PRISMA, REFLECT, STARD, and STROBE statements. The journal focuses on: Epidemiology of health events relevant to domestic and wild animals; Economic impacts of epidemic and endemic animal and zoonotic diseases; Latest methods and approaches in veterinary epidemiology; Disease and infection control or eradication measures; The "One Health" concept and the relationships between veterinary medicine, human health, animal-production systems, and the environment; Development of new techniques in surveillance systems and diagnosis; Evaluation and control of diseases in animal populations.
