Rodent diseases

Sporotrichosis, also known as '''rose handler's disease', is a fungal infection that may be localised to skin, lungs, bone and joint, or become systemic. It presents with firm painless nodules that later ulcerate. Following initial exposure to Sporothrix schenckii'', the disease typically progresses over a period of a week to several months. Serious complications may develop in people who have a weakened immune system.
