Sporotrichosis is an infectious disease caused by fungi belonging to the genus Sporotrix. In dogs the disease is uncommon, and the infection occurs through lesions caused by vegetation that is contaminated with fungi or when in contact with contaminated cats, by scratching, biting or exudates from the lesions. Thus, the objectives of the present study were to describe the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and therapeutic aspects of canine sporotrichosis.
