Comparative transcriptome profiles of first-stage larvae and adult female <i>Dracunculus medinensis</i> (Guinea worm)

2025-08-02

Abstract excerpt

Dracunculus medinensis , also called the Guinea worm, is a nematode that causes dracunculiasis, a debilitating neglected tropical disease in humans. The parasite is currently targeted by the global Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP). Historically, GWEP in endemic countries have focused on interrupting transmission of the disease through intervention such as isolation and management of patients, health educatio...
