Concurrent therapeutic and behavioral interventions are associated with a reduced number of emerging Dracunculus medinensis worms in dogs in Chad.
Dracunculus medinensis (Guinea worm; GW) is a parasitic nematode that causes dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease; GWD). The annual incidence of GWD in humans has been reduced by over 99.9% globally since the 1980s thanks to the implementation of complementary interventions. Dogs are now the primary hosts of GW and impede eradication efforts. The antihelmenthic drug, flubendazole (FLBZ), was suggested as a possible therapeutic intervention after it was found to be partially effective at reducing fertility of D. medinensis in experimentally infected ferrets. A 2019 clinical trial of FLBZ in Chad found no statistically significant difference in GW infections between treated and control dogs, but longer term effects may be observed if FLBZ reduced fertility of D. medinensis. This study leveraged surveillance data from the National Guinea Worm Eradication Program of the monthly count of D. medinensis worms in dogs between January 1, 2019, and September 30, 2021, for 56 villages to examine whether FLBZ would have an observable effect over 33 months and in the presence of another intervention, proactive tethering. We fit hypothesis-informed models of the combined interventions using negative binomial generalized linear mixed models. We averaged the top models together and predicted the number of D. medinensis infections per month for an average village. Based on the model predictions, we observed a clear delineation of effects between March and August 2021, approximately one year after most villages initiated proactive tethering and approximately two years after a few villages initiated FLBZ treatment. During this period, the predicted number of dog infections were reduced by 83% (95% CI, 76% to 88%) when using FLBZ and proactive tethering concurrently, by 63% when using FLBZ alone (95% CI: 44% to 75%), and by 55% when using proactive tethering alone (95% CI: 52% to 58%) compared to baseline control methods. When used together, proactive tethering and FLBZ may be important tools in reducing the village-level D. medinensis burden in dogs.
Progress Toward Eradication of Dracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Disease) - Worldwide, January 2024-June 2025.
Dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease), caused by the parasite Dracunculus medinensis, is acquired by drinking water containing small water fleas infected with D. medinensis larvae or eating inadequately cooked aquatic animals. Efforts to eradicate D. medinensis, including the Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP), began at CDC in 1980. In 1986, with an estimated 3.5 million cases in 20 African and Asian countries, the World Health Assembly called for dracunculiasis elimination in specific geographic areas; this goal was later expanded to global eradication. GWEP has been led by The Carter Center since 1986 and is supported by countries with endemic dracunculiasis, CDC, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and other partners. During 1986-2023, human dracunculiasis cases decreased by >99%, from an estimated 3.5 million to 14 worldwide. Since 2012, environmental contamination from infected animals has posed a new challenge to eradication, as have ongoing civil unrest and insecurity in some areas. As of June 2025, indigenous dracunculiasis transmission was occurring in six countries (Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan). Fifteen human cases and 664 animal infections were reported in 2024, including 299 canine infections in Cameroon and 234 in Chad; during January-June 2025, one human case and 550 animal infections were reported. Animal infections and public health personnel's impeded access to the population due to civil unrest and insecurity in Mali, South Sudan, and Sudan threaten the near-term possibility of disease eradication. Nevertheless, countries and partners appear poised to reach zero human cases soon.
Radiologic identification of dracunculiasis in a nonendemic region: A case report.
Dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease) is a parasitic infection caused by Dracunculus medinensis, now nearing global eradication. We report a rare case from a nonendemic region involving a 75-year-old woman with a 10-day history of dull, radiating left hip pain and intermittent discomfort for 2 months. Examination revealed localized tenderness, mild muscle weakness, and restricted hip mobility. Laboratory results were normal. Pelvic radiography and computed tomography demonstrated dense, serpentine intramuscular calcifications along the left adductor muscles, highly suggestive of a calcified D. medinensis. Given the patient's clinical history, imaging findings, and regional rarity of the disease, a presumptive diagnosis was made without histological confirmation. The patient improved with physiotherapy and declined surgery. This case highlights the need to consider parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of intramuscular calcifications, even in countries where the disease is considered eradicated, to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions.
Proactive Tethering to Prevent Guinea Worm Infections among Dogs in Chad: An Analysis of the Impacts of Timing and Dog Selection.
Guinea worm, or dracunculiasis, has been targeted for eradication. Since the detection of the disease in animals, particularly domestic dogs in Chad, eradication efforts have become more challenging as animal infections perpetuate the cycle of infection and continue to put humans at risk. A wide range of community-based interventions is used to reduce infections, and the proactive tethering of dogs was introduced in 2020 to aid in the eradication efforts. This approach aims to contain dogs to prevent them from infecting water sources and to minimize exposure to water sources harboring infective Guinea worm larvae. However, tethering guidelines are not uniformly adhered to across communities. We adapted an agent-based simulation model to analyze various proactive tethering scenarios that consider dog selection methods, time of year, and time of day. Tethering 100% of dogs year-round but releasing them for part of the day (e.g., at night) results in 19-24% more infections compared with the full-day tethering of 60% of dogs year-round. Tethering 80% of dogs during the 3 months of peak infectivity, from April to June, results in 5-9% fewer infections than tethering 100% of dogs for 6 months during the dry season, from November to April. Because of the protracted prepatent period of Guinea worm disease (∼10-14 months), the results of interventions are not known until 1 year after they are implemented. Understanding the long-term impacts of tethering decisions when they are made is extremely important for achieving the ultimate goal of Guinea worm eradication.
The current status of neglected tropical diseases in Japan: A scoping review.
Little attention has been paid to neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in high-income countries and no literature provides an overview of NTDs in Japan. This scoping review aims to synthesize the latest evidence and information to understand epidemiology of and public health response to NTDs in Japan. Using three academic databases, we retrieved articles that mentioned NTDs in Japan, written in English or Japanese, and published between 2010 and 2020. Websites of key public health institutions and medical societies were also explored. From these sources of information, we extracted data that were relevant to answering our research questions. Our findings revealed the transmission of alveolar echinococcosis, Buruli ulcer, Chagas disease, dengue, foodborne trematodiases, mycetoma, scabies, and soil-transmitted helminthiasis as well as occurrence of snakebites within Japan. Other NTDs, such as chikungunya, cystic echinococcosis, cysticercosis, leishmaniasis, leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, rabies, and schistosomiasis, have been imported into the country. Government agencies tend to organize surveillance and control programs only for the NTDs targeted by the Infectious Disease Control Law, namely, echinococcosis, rabies, dengue, and chikungunya. At least one laboratory offers diagnostic testing for each NTD except for dracunculiasis, human African trypanosomiasis, onchocerciasis, and yaws. No medicine is approved for treatment of Chagas disease and fascioliasis and only off-label use drugs are available for cysticercosis, opisthorchiasis, human African trypanosomiasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, and yaws. Based on these findings, we developed disease-specific recommendations. In addition, three policy issues are discussed, such as lack of legal frameworks to organize responses to some NTDs, overreliance on researchers to procure some NTD products, and unaffordability of unapproved NTD medicines. Japan should recognize the presence of NTDs within the country and need to address them as a national effort. The implications of our findings extend beyond Japan, emphasizing the need to study, recognize, and address NTDs even in high-income countries.
