Population genomic evidence that human and animal infections in Africa come from the same populations of <i>Dracunculus medinensis</i>

2019-10-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Guinea worm – Dracunculus medinensis – was historically one of the major parasites of humans and has been known since antiquity. Now, Guinea worm is on the brink of eradication, as efforts to interrupt transmission have reduced the annual burden of disease from millions of infections per year in the 1980s to only 30 human cases reported globally last year. Despite the enormous success of erad...
