To inform Dracunculus medinensis (Guinea worm) eradication efforts, we evaluated the role of fish as transport hosts for Dracunculus worms. Ferrets fed fish that had ingested infected copepods became infected, highlighting the importance of recommendations to cook fish, bury entrails, and prevent dogs from consuming raw fish and entrails.
为指导麦地那龙线虫（几内亚蠕虫）的根除工作，我们评估了鱼类作为麦地那龙线虫传播宿主的作用。喂食过摄入感染性桡足类动物的鱼类的雪貂被感染，这突出了烹饪鱼类、掩埋内脏以及防止狗食用生鱼和内脏这些建议的重要性。
