Our new study explores the genetic diversity and population structure of #Sporothrix spp. clinical isolates in #Paraíba, Brazil! S. brasiliensis was the predominant species, highlighting the importance of molecular surveillance. www.mdpi.com/2309-608X/10... #Sporotrichosis #Mycology #UNIFESP #UFPB

Emerging #Sporothrix brasiliensis is fueling a cat-transmitted sporotrichosis #outbreak in Northeast Brazil. Over 1,100 cases identified in Recife's metro region (2016-2021), with zoonotic transmission linked to Rio de Janeiro strains.

Our review is out in Nature Reviews Genetics! rdcu.be/d5AY2

We show how phylogeny-based methods can resolve the problem of non-independence in genomic datasets.

These methods must be considered an essential part of the comparative genomics toolkit.
