Transmission from a patient with dracunculiasis is contained if all of the following conditions are met: 1) the disease is detected < 24 hours after worm emergence; 2) the patient has not entered any water source since the worm emerged; 3) a health system staff or volunteer has managed the patient properly, by cleaning and bandaging the lesion(s) until the worm has been fully removed manually and by providing health education to discourage the patient from contaminating any water source (if two or more emerging worms are present, transmission is not contained until the last worm is removed); and 4) the containment process, including verification of dracunculiasis, is validated by a supervisor within 7 days of emergence of the worm. All of these criteria must be achieved for each emerged worm for the case to be considered contained.
