Removing Dracunculus involves digging up the plant, ensuring to remove all tubers to prevent regrowth. Summary

Members of Dracunculus are are hardy perennials. They are small to medium in size, ranging from about 45 to 90 cm (18 inches to 3 feet) in height. Dracunculus medinensis ("little dragon from Medina") was described in Egypt as early as the 15th century BCE and possibly was the " fiery serpent" afflicting the Israelites described in the Bible.

Requirements and care: Full or partial shade. Good drainage. Rich Soil, Humus, Alkaline soil. Mix in organic material. Spring mulch. Regular watering during the growing period. Propagate: by dividing in the autumn. binSaleem, Talha; Ahmed, Irfan (2006). " "Serpent" in the breast" (PDF). Journal of Ayub Medical College Abbottabad. 18 (4): 67–68. PMID 17591014. D.medinensis L1 larvae are found in fresh water, where they are ingested by copepods (small crustaceans) of the genus Cyclops. Within the copepod, the D.medinensis larvae develop to an infective L3 stage within 14days. [9] When the infected copepod is ingested by a mammalian host drinking unfiltered water, the copepod is then dissolved by stomach acid and dies and the D.medinensis larvae are released and migrate through the wall of the mammalian intestine, and enter the abdominal cavity and retro-peritoneal space, where they mature into adults. After maturing and mating within the host, the males die and females (length 70–120cm) migrate in subcutaneous tissue towards the skin's surface. Around a year after the infection, the female causes the formation of a blister on the skin's surface, generally on the lower extremities, though occasionally on the hand or scrotum. When the blister ruptures, the female slowly emerges over the course of several days or weeks. [9] This causes extreme pain and irritation to the host. During those few days to hours before the worm exits the skin, the person may develop a fever, pain, or swelling in that area. When the host — in an attempt to alleviate the excruciating burning pain — submerges the affected body part in water, the female releases thousands of larvae into the water. From here, the larvae infect copepods, continuing the life cycle. [9] After the worm exits the skin the wound caused by the emerging worm often develops a secondary bacterial infection. Permanent damage can occur if the infection goes untreated around a joint. Most cases occur in areas without access to health care facilities. [10] Animal reservoirs [ edit ] Three Tales of Noggin Volume 1" (1981) ("Noggin the King" / "Noggin and The Whale" / "Noggin and the Moon Mouse")As of 2015 [update], the species has been reported to be near eradication. [33] The International Commission for the Certification of Dracunculus Eradication has certified 198 countries, territories, and other WHO represented areas. As of January2015, eight countries were yet to be certified as Guinea worm-free: Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan; of these, only in Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan does D.medinensis remain endemic countries. [34] See also [ edit ] Visually, the series was primarily inspired by the Lewis chessmen (of Norse origin); [5] one of the stories is about Noggin playing chess with Nogbad the Bad. The Transformers Dracula's alternate mode appears as a mechanimal in the Beast Wars: Uprising story " Not All Megatrons". This mold was also used to make Draculus. The Headmaster was repurposed as the Legends World Nightscream while the body was repurposed as Mindwipe's Transtector temporarily recolored as a costume/set-piece for Nightscream's film in the Legends comic.
