Our results related to yeast-like cells contrast with those previously reported, where dectin-1 was found to be dispensable for the clearance of S. schenckii in an experimental model of sporotrichosis [55]; however, they are in line with recent observations that have placed dectin-1 as a central component of anti-Sporothrix innate immunity [20,22,23,56]. This evidence concerns the gene CLEC7A and sporotrichosis.
