Eumycetoma agents infect a wide range of hosts, including humans, animals, plants, and agricultural and food products, with persisting presence in the environment worldwide. Therefore, the disease has been devastating human, animal, and environmental health, as well as socio-cultural and economic status, food security, and safety. Recently, a substantial increase in the incidence rates, diversity of hosts, and geographical distribution has been reported worldwide; this change is enhanced by several factors, including climate change, globalization, inadequate living conditions, and low hygiene and sanitation practices. In this review, we summarize the diversity and prevalence of the main agents of eumycetoma among humans, animals, plants, agricultural products, and the environment. We have also summarized persisting challenges in the early detection and diagnosis, surveillance, prevention, treatment, and control of eumycetoma. This will inform policymaking, strategic planning, and resources mobilization and guide the implementation of cost-effective interventions. The interconnectedness of eumycetoma across different host-species calls for the implementation of a multisectoral One Health strategy for the surveillance, prevention, and control of eumycetoma. We recommend improving the reporting and immediate sharing of related public health data to raise awareness among the general population, health care providers, and public health leaders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100655,"journal":{"name":"IJID One Health","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100048"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to the present study, JE virus genotype III (JEV GIII) was recovered from the mosquito, <em>Culex tritaeniorhynchus,</em> in the same municipality where backyard hog-raising and wet rice cultivation were common practices among households located within 1 km radius from the paddies.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>JEV GIII was detected from serum and nasal swabs from pigs, 3 to 5-month-old, from barangays Pao, Moriones, and Villa Aglipay.

The presence of these antibodies in all pigs during four observation periods indicated year-round transmission starting with the rainy season, which encompasses the months of July and September 2010. IgM represented new infections. IgG increased correspondingly with age with repeated infections in older pigs. IgG levels remained high in all barangays. The number of households with any one of the markers: IgM, IgG, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction averaged out at 82.5 %, reflecting as it were, vulnerability to JE in barangays where all 198 pigs were examined.

Thus, infected pigs, rainfall, and proximity of human habitation to breeding sites of vector mosquitoes constituted the risk factors for JE, as it were in other endemic countries in Asia. The finding of viral RNA in nasal swabs suggests the possibility of direct transmission among pigs via the oronasal route.
