Impact of socio-environmental determinants and hygiene practices in tungiasis transmission in a vulnerable rural community

2025-06-06

<h4>Background</h4> Tungiasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by the penetration of adult female Tunga fleas into the skin of humans and animals. The disease disproportionately affects individuals in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, South America and Caribbean, where poverty, inadequate sanitation and limited healthcare services facilitate transmission, especiall...
