Molecular Characterisation of Fungi Populations in the Chronic Wounds of Filarial Lymphedema Patients in Southern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and associated chronic wounds are of public health concern worldwide. Despite the significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and its associated chronic wounds, the fungal component of the wound microbiome remains poorly understood. Previous research has primarily focused on bacterial pathogens,
