Answer:

Endemic.

Explanation:

Disease can also be classified on the basis of their spreading and distribution in the particular local area or around the world. Epidemics, incident, endemic and pandemic are the different diseases.

Endemic disease is found in the particular area and maintained in the population without any external inputs. Foot fungal disease is limited upto the population of the New Orelans and can be best described as a case of only the endemic disease.
