Chromoblastomycosis and sporotrichosis in Madagascar : Epidemiology, molecular diagnostic and perspectives

Conclusion These results confirmed that CBM and SP persist at a high frequency in Madagascar. The availability of a reliable PCR tool in routine and the clinical expertise gained during this study will help the national authorities to set up a proper control and prevention program. An environmental survey is planned to describe the spread of the causative agents in the environment in an attempt to prevent the contamination.
