摘要

麦地那龙线虫病(麦地那龙线虫病)是一种可怕的疾病,甚至在历史上仅限于我们星球上的干旱和贫困地区,在西方一直被视为一种外来疾病,因此从未在集体想象中扎根。这种寄生虫病通过被含有麦地那龙线虫(一种线虫)幼虫的甲壳类动物污染的饮用水传播给人类。本病的自然史是由成虫侵入结缔组织引起水泡、溃疡和水肿。这种疾病在古埃及南部地区流行,在欧洲主要是从罗马帝国时期开始的医学作家的报告中得知的,但没有直接的知识。在中世纪,医生和外科医生在医学书籍上读到的对这种疾病的描述,最终被归结为兽医寄生虫病。在现代,只有在殖民主义时代,龙线虫病才被认为是一个问题,然而是零星的。1986年,麦地那龙线虫根除计划(GWEP)启动,但没有成功。因此,这种寄生虫病的消失仍应推迟,但不应放弃。

Dracunculiasis over the centuries: the history of a parasite unfamiliar to the West.

Dracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Disease) is a terrible disease limited, even historically, to the arid and poor areas of our planet and which in the West has always been seen as an exotic disease and therefore has never taken root in the collective imagination. This parasitosis is transmitted to humans by drinking water contaminated with crustacean harboring larvae of Dracunculus medinensis, a nematode. The natural history of the disease is caused by adult worms invading connective tissues and causing blistering, ulceration and edema. Well known in Ancient Egypt where the disease was endemic in its southern area, was known in Europe mainly from the reports of medical writers starting from the Roman imperial period but without direct knowledge. In Middle age the descriptions of this disease that physicians and surgeons could read on medical books, at the end, were attributed to veterinary parasitic disease. In Modern age only during the colonialist era dracunculiasis was perceived as a problem, however sporadic. In 1986 Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP) was launch without success. Thus, the disappearance of this parasitosis should still be postponed but not abandoned.
