“…The average mean temperature of the five meteorological stations in the province, in those years of study was 25°C; after analysis there was a significant correlation (p=0.045) with disease. This result coincided with that obtained by Bonifaz et al (2022) [9], when they stated that most of the causative agents of CBM inhabit places with a temperature range between 25 and 30°C. They also agree with Sumba (2022) [18], when he stated that CBM is prevalent in Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela, due to the climatic conditions prevailing in areas with average temperatures at 24°C.…”

“…None had statistical significance with the diagnosed cases of CBM. However, Queiroz (2015) [2] posited that F. pedrosoi predominates in humid areas, as did Bonifaz (2015 and 2022) [9,19].…”

“…Urbanization and desertification may lead to an increase in C. carrionii and a decrease in F. pedrosoi. Alterations in ecosystems will condition the disappearance of certain species, while others will thrive in new environments [4,9].…”

“…Fungal diseases are often regionally distributed, there is no doubt that climate change has a connotation on their delimitation, spread, and possibly etiological agents [9]. An understanding of the ecological changes of such niches, is only the first step in understanding the impact of climate change on opportunistic and medically important fungi [10].…”

In Villa Clara province, Cuba, microorganisms and climatic conditions coexist for the development of the infectious entity chromoblastomycosis. Besides, there is a high percentage of agricultural and handicraft workers exposed to acquiring this infection. The objective of the research consisted in describing the etiological diagnosis and correlating chromoblastomycosis with average climatic variables of the meteorological stations located in Villa Clara. Between 2018-2022, a descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 25 patients diagnosed with chromoblastomycosis by anatomopathological and microbiological studies. Absolute frequencies were used as a summary measure, and for correlation with climatic data from the five meteorological stations, inferential statistics. Of the total number of patients, 92% were diagnosed by anatomopathological studies and only 2/8% had mycological studies, in which the species Fonsecaea pedrosoi was isolated. There was a significant correlation between mean temperature (p=0.045) and mean predicted wind (p=0.028) and the number of cases. This was not the case with relative air humidity (p>0.05). It is concluded that in Villa Clara province, only the etiological agent F. pedrosoi was the cause of the disease during the period studied, with a significant relationship between the disease and the average climatic variables mean temperature and mean predicted wind.

Chromoblastomycosis, an implantation mycosis, is a neglected tropical disease that causes decreased quality of life, stigma, and disability. The global burden of disease is unknown and data on disease epidemiology and outcomes are severely limited by a lack of access to needed diagnostic tools and therapeutics. The World Health Organization outlined targets for chromoblastomycosis in the Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021–2030, but little progress has been made in initiating and implementing an effective control program globally. This lack of guiding policy and progress led to the recent formation of a Global Chromoblastomycosis Working Group which has developed a global chromoblastomycosis strategy. We describe this strategy, which outlines specific steps needed to improve technical progress, strategy and service delivery, and enablers. Clinicians, researchers, public and government officials, patients, and policy makers can align their time, expertise, and resources to improve the lives of communities affected by chromoblastomycosis through this strategy.
