Zusammenfassung

Dracunculiasis is an invalidating parasitosis that is close to being eradicated. The species Dracunculus medinensis is the only causal agent in human beings, with the drinking of polluted water being the main way of getting infected. Due to the lack of access to drinkable water in many underdeveloped countries, drancunculiosis has been an endemic disease for a long time. However, several preventive strategies have made it possible for the disease to come close to a point of eradication. By the end of 2015 annual incidence had been reduced by more than 99% in comparison with the incidence in the 80’s. However, localizing and containing the latest cases could become the hardest phase of the process. Insecurities and problems associated to the lack of access to some countries imply an important limitation, especially in Chad, Ethiopia, Mali and South Sudan.
