Guinea Worm Poised to Be the Second Human Disease Eradicated

Another Human Disease to Bite the Dust! Just over two dozen people in the world are infected with Guinea worm, as per a new report that says community programs are close to eradicating the disease in which a meter-long worm slowly emerges from a blister in a person’s skin. Adam Weiss, the director of the United States-based Carter Center, which leads the eradication campaign, says things are looking up. Director of the Carter Center s Guinea Worm Eradication Program We re reporting a 50% reduction in human cases, down to only 27 people in the world last year that had Guinea worm. And that s compared to in 1986 when there were 3.5 million people annually reporting Guinea worm disease across about 21 countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in the Middle East and in Asia.
