Surveillance and Epidemiology of Tinea Infections

Surveillance and epidemiology of Tinea infections involve tracking how these fungal skin conditions spread and who they affect. Tinea, commonly called ringworm, can infect skin, hair, and nails. Public health efforts monitor their occurrence to identify patterns, risk factors, and outbreaks. Understanding where and how often these infections occur helps prevent their spread through hygiene and treatment. This information guides health policies and awareness programs to reduce the impact of Tinea infections across communities.
