Elimination of dracunculiasis is the confirmed absence of the emergence of adult female worms (the interruption of transmission of Dracunculus medinensis) in humans and animals for three consecutive years or longer from a country with such a low risk of reintroduction of the parasite that preventive measures could be reduced to a strict minimum.
