Abstract
Sporothrix schenckii var. luriei is a very rare pathogen reported on four occasions from human infections, but only isolated from one case in Africa. Here, it is proposed as a species different from Sporothrix schenckii on the basis of phenotypic characteristics and a multilocus sequence analysis.
