Sporothrix schenckii (Sporothrix Schenkii (sic)) Hektoen & C.F. Perkins 1900
fungi species in the ophiostomataceae family
Sporothrix schenckii, a fungus that can be found worldwide in the environment, is named for medical student Benjamin Schenck, who in 1896 was the first to isolate it from a human specimen. The species is present in soil as well as in and on living and decomposing plant material such as peat moss. It can infect humans as well as animals and is the causative agent of sporotrichosis, commonly known as "rose handler's disease." The most common route of infection is the introduction of spores to the body through a cut or puncture wound in the skin. Infection commonly occurs in otherwise healthy
Sporothrix Hektoen & C.F. Perkins 1900
fungi genus in the ophiostomataceae family
Sporothrix is a ubiquitous genus of soil-dwelling fungus discovered by Schenck in 1898, and studied in more detail by Hektoen and Perkins. The first described and best known species is Sporothrix schenckii, the causative agent of rose handler's disease. New environmental, and pathogenic, species have been discovered with the potential for more to be found as molecular techniques advance. Other species in this genus include Sporothrix brasiliensis and Sporothrix globosa.
