A worm-infested secret found in Vietnamese a person Last year it was eliminated, although without adding some fancy wrinkles to the point. The worms inside the man were not guinea worms (Dracunculus medinensis), germs that rarely occur on the verge of extinction, as he first thought. Rather, they were identical and unknown forms of Dracunculus maybe their home is the same. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
In June 2020, the Vietnamese press reported on the strangeness of the 23-year-old man who was he went to the hospital with hoofs in his hands and neck. Doctors eventually found and extracted five large worms, each around 1 to 2 meters tall, from the man’s wounds, as well as worms. The man was was given antiparasitics and did not start spreading again.
At the time, the doctor in the case was said to be a man who appeared to be involved Worm disease in Guinea, which would be dangerous to find for a number of reasons. During the 1980’s, millions of people in Asia and Africa became infected with the H5N1 virus and sometimes became debilitated each year. But over the decades the stressful health work has contributed to the survival of these worms. a few selected areas in Africa. (In 2020, only 27 cases were reports completely.) While there are some challenges in the near future, we hope that by 2030, Guinea worm will be second Bacteria regularly erased, following smallpox. Therefore, finding a worm in Guinea a long distance away from its final destination, as well as in an area that has not been discovered, would cause great concern.
Outside the same professionals he spoke to Gizmodo at the time he suspected that this was a Guinea worm. Adam Weiss, director of the Guinea Worm Eradication Program at the Carter Center, a human rights organization founded by former US President Jimmy Carter, also cited the possibility that the man’s spread was caused by some form of Dracunculus. And the teaching was about money.

Earlier in March, doctors were behind the case published their report in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases. Following the man’s help, he sent the ants to the US The Center for Disease Control and Prevention Genetic Testing, which confirmed that it was not D. medinensis. But beyond that, the mystery grows.
Like many parasites, the various members of a Dracunculus infest first colors. D. medinensis then the only well-known worms that want to eat humans, for example, and there are other species that follow animals and reptiles. Doctors determined that the man’s worms were very similar reptiles that prefer reptiles every human and animal worm. But only a few Dracunculus their species have been carefully studied in their genes, and analyzed the worm did not belong to any of these species. It is possible that the worm may be a pre-existing species but not genetically modified, but for now, its identity is in question.
The remaining thread that remains to be pulled is that the event was one or more events Early signs of outbreaks in the area. Dracunculus Worms have their own tastes, but sometimes they jump over the barriers to life – a skill that has struggled to eradicate worms in recent years, as worms have started biting dogs in some areas. And there have been suspicions of cases against non-Guineans Dracunculus human spreads have occurred repeatedly in some parts of Asia over the years.
Just because an unknown worm tends to carry humans does not mean that it will never happen again. We do not know how the worms ended up in the man’s body, although his beliefs are that he drank contaminated water (small crustaceans that are part of the worm’s life) or ate raw black fish.
“Love nature and how it reflects zoonotic Dracunculus [species] should not be eliminated and they should continue to investigate and investigate similar cases in human and animal life in the region, “the authors wrote.
Accordingly editor, infectious disease researchers Martin Grobusch and Thomas Hänscheid put up a lot of unanswered questions and warn you not to be pessimistic that the case was a rare cases, at least without further investigation.
“However, it seems almost impossible to say that we are probably dealing with one of the natural disasters instead of the introduction of a book called pathogenic helminth to humans,” he wrote.
