应用“流行病学链”的概念，依次分析了病原体申克孢子丝菌及其自然宿主（传染源）;传染粒子到达人体的不同途径（感染机制）;易受感染人口和处于危险中的人口;拉丁美洲各国按性别和年龄分列的发病率和分布情况;根据皮肤科诊所的临床病例，该病的患病率以及某些国家发病率随时间的变化;环境主要是气候条件对该病地理分布的影响。最后，根据麦金农的假说，在不同国家，气候可能对某种临床形式相对于另一种临床形式的优势具有决定性作用。
Applying the concept of ‘epidemiological chain’, it is successively analyzed: the etiologic agent,Sporothrix schenckiiand its natural reservoirs (sources of infection); the different ways that infecting particles may reach man (mechanisms of infection); the susceptible population and the population at risk; the incidence and distribution by sex and age in countries of Latin America; the prevalence of the disease according to clinical cases in dermatological clinics and the variation of incidence rates in some countries with time; the influence of the environment mainly climatic conditions on the geographic distribution of the disease.Finally, according to Mackinnon's hypothesis, the climate could have a determining role on the predominance of a certain clinical form on another in different countries.
