Figure 6. Evolution of Sporothrix/sporotrichosis research networks involving Brazilian institutions.

( a) Research network from 1945 to 1999. ( b) Research network from 2000 to 2018. Each node represents one institution and two institutions were considered connected if their members shared the authorship of a paper. Nodes are color coded according to the geographic location of the institutions: North region - green; Northeast region – orange; Center-West region– yellow; Southeast region- blue; and South region – lilac. Multicampus National institutions are colored in gray. The size of the nodes is proportional to their centrality degree. For visualization purposes, only the giant component is shown. The top ten Brazilian organizations with highest degree centrality are labeled in each panel.
