Mycetoma is transmitted to humans through sharp instruments that puncture the skin or cause a wound. This puncture facilitates the entry of many Mycetoma bacteria or fungi into the human body. thorns are the most common means of transmission due to the agricultural and pastoral nature of the population.
The life cycle of Mycetoma in humans begins with the entry of Mycetoma bacteria or fungi into the human body. This latent period (latency) can last for more than three months, and no symptoms may appear on the human skin at this stage. It is worth noting that Mycetoma is considered a non-communicable disease.
