The Life Cycle of Dracunculus Medinensis Model (SKU JC-BE-6255) is a Guinea worm life cycle model for Dracunculus medinensis. It shows larvae taken up by tiny Cyclops copepods in stagnant water, human infection by drinking untreated water containing them, larvae migrating through connective tissue and maturing over about a year, and the female worm emerging through a painful blister that releases larvae when it touches water. It also covers the eradication effort based on safe water. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
