Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the main sources and epidemiological patterns and speculate on the evolutionary origin of in Asia.

Case and case series literature on sporotrichosis in Asia from January 2007 onwards were reviewed using meta-analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of relevant was carried out on the basis of concatenated sequences of ITS, and . A haplotype network of sequences of 281 isolates was analysed to determine the population structure of .

Nearly all cases of sporotrichosis caused by in Asia were human. In contrast to the remaining pathogenic species, feline transmission was exceptional; nearly all regional cat-associated cases were caused by . While the latter species was highly variable and showed recombination, seemed to be a clonal offshoot, as was . The origin of the segregants was located in an area of high variability in with a relatively high frequency of Asian strains.

In Asia, was the prevalent species. The low diversity of suggested a recent divergence with a founder effect of low variability from the variable ancestral species, .
