Schematic overview of the hypothesis for the dissemination of the plant-born pathogen Sporothrix globosa, applied to the large human epidemics occurring in corn crops in north-east China. a. The species has not been found as an endophyte. b. Specific conditions in decaying plant material, such as fermentation, may stimulate excessive growth of the thermodependent yeasts, which facilitates infections in mammals. c. Onset of facial infections during transportation of corn debris. d. Delayed development of human infection during decline of growth in plant debris.
