The species Dracunculus medinensis which infects humans, requires a human host to reproduce.

Thus the elimination of human infection will lead to the extinction of Dracunculus medinensis.

Dracunculus medinensis is a long and very thin nematode (roundworm).

Dracunculus medinensis is a nematode that causes dracunculiasis.

The radiological demonstration of Dracunculus Medinensis.

Cyclopoid copepods: a number of species transmit the nematode Dracunculus medinensis.

A second candidate for purposeful extermination is the Dracunculus medinensis (Guinea Worm).

Some commentators have interpreted the symbol as a direct representation of traditional treatment of Dracunculus medinensis, the Guinea worm.

Dracunculus medinensis has been reported in humans, dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and other animals in Africa and Asia.

In 2011 only four countries still had the human-infecting Dracunculus medinensis - and of these, Ghana, Ethiopia and Mali have nearly eliminated it.

Dracunculiasis, also called guinea worm disease, is a painful and disabling parasitic disease caused by a worm, Dracunculus medinensis.

Dracunculus medinensis (human as final host) and Anguillicola crassus (eels as final host) are important species.

Dracunculiasis, also known as Guinea worm disease, is caused by the large female nematode, Dracunculus medinensis, which is among the longest nematodes infecting humans.

Other insects reported are Dracunculus medinensis Guinea worm and Necator americanus (Hook worm).

Of Nematodes, the Onchocerca volvulus, Necator americanus, Wuchereria bancrofti and Dracunculus medinensis are human parasites.

Dracontiasis Dracunculiasis Fiery Serpent Infection Guinea Worm Infection None Dracunculosis is an infection caused by a parasitic worm known as Dracunculus medinensis, the guinea worm.

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.
