The species " Dracunculus medinensis " which infects humans, requires a human host to reproduce.
2.
Thus the elimination of human infection will lead to the extinction of " Dracunculus medinensis ".
3.
In January 2015, eight countries remained to be certified as " Dracunculus medinensis " free.
4.
A second candidate for purposeful extermination is the " Dracunculus medinensis " ( guinea worm ).
5.
Copepods also host " Dracunculus medinensis ", the Guinea worm nematode that causes dracunculiasis disease in humans.
6.
Dracunculiasis, also called Guinea worm disease, is a painful and disabling parasitic disease caused by a worm, " Dracunculus medinensis ".
7.
"Dracunculus medinensis ", a parasitic worm which causes the disease dracunculiasis, is now close to eradication thanks to efforts led by the Carter Center.
8.
In 2011 only four countries still had the human-infecting " Dracunculus medinensis " and of these, Ghana, Ethiopia and Mali have nearly eliminated it.
9.
Because " Mesocyclops " is a host for the parasitic round worm Guinea worm ( " Dracunculus medinensis ", the causative agent of dracunculiasis ), this method is potentially hazardous in the small number of countries where the Guinea worm still occurs.
10.
Although no empirical data exists to test the hypothesis, many nematologists assume and circumstantial evidence suggests the " fiery serpents " to be the Guinea worm, " Dracunculus medinensis ", as this nematode is known to inhabit the region near the Red Sea.
