A pathogenic fungus that can be transmitted through domestic cat scratches has been found in wild animals. This fungus is known to cause sporotrichosis, a condition that results in serious lesions in cats. The presence of the fungus in wild animals is a notable development, as it was previously associated with domestic cat transmission. The fungus was discovered in the internal organs of wild animals, indicating its ability to infect and affect a broader range of hosts. The study's findings were published in the journal Mycopathologia, providing new insight into the fungus's transmission and host range.
