SUMMARY:

Sporotrichosis is a subacute or chronic mycosis caused, in most cases, by traumatic implantation of the fungus Sporothrix sp. in the skin. The disease has become a public health problem in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brazil, due to the significant increase in cases in felines and humans. However, there is still a lack of effective strategic control and prevention measures to contain the advance of this zoonosis that occurs in Natal and RN. The objective of this work was to study, in temporal and spatial terms, the occurrence of animal sporotrichosis and relate the occurrence of recorded human cases, and suggest to public agencies about the need for improvement in intervention for clinical and laboratory diagnosis, prevention and control of this disease. feline infection. From April 2022 to May 2023, 231 exams were performed at the Zoonosis Surveillance Unit in Natal to diagnose sporotrichosis in cats. Being 53% of the positive cases, 16.4% negative and 29.4% inconclusive for sporotrichosis. Two techniques were chosen, cytological and mycological analysis. The main symptoms presented by the examined animals were: skin ulcer, hair loss, sneezing, coughing, nasal pain and panting respiratory effort. Most cases 65.9% were registered in the north area of Natal, followed by the west and south areas. This work contributed to the description of the dynamics of human and animal sporotrichosis in Natal, in terms of space and time, using official notification data. Especially to compare the places of occurrence of human and animal cases, it is possible to discuss their relationships and evident deficiencies in relation to the surveillance of cases in both people, mainly the animal. Compulsory notification of animal cases needs to be more widespread among veterinarians and its flow facilitated and well defined, aiming at greater adherence to this important surveillance measure. In this study we noticed the advance of sporotrichosis in the municipality of Natal, the cases are concentrated in the area of lower purchasing power with configurable environmental conditions the emergence of neglected diseases, It is necessary to implement the Active Epidemiological Surveillance in the city of Natal, due to the increase in human cases and increase in feline cases. And that health education activities remained with the population and professionals from the various areas of animal and human health involved in the dynamics of sporotrichosis in Natal.
