Distribution patterns of 2 582 medically relevant Sporothrix spp. isolates based on molecular characterization. (A) Distribution patterns observed worldwide show that most endemic areas are in (sub)tropical areas, and Brazil and China are the main areas to carry out molecular identification. The sizes of circumferences are roughly proportional to the number of strains included. (B, C) Temporal distribution patterns were observed in Brazil (n = 1 470). Codes reported within the pies denote Sporothrix species. Further information about isolate sources can be found in supplementary files (see Search strategy, Supplementary Table S7).
