Dracunculiasis, also known as Guinea Worm disease, is caused by the large female nematode, Dracunculus medinensis, which is the longest nematode infecting humans. The adult female is primarily larger than the adult male. The longest adult female recorded was 800 mm in length, while the adult male was only 40 mm. Mature female worms migrate along subcutaneous tissues to reach the skin below the knee, forming a painful ulcerating blister. They can also emerge from other parts of the body like the head, torso, upper extremities, buttocks, and genitalia.
