Guinea Worm Close to Eradication
The end of Guinea worm disease is within reach. When The Carter Center began leading the campaign to eradicate Guinea worm in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases of the disease in 20 countries in Africa and Asia. In 2008, there were fewer than 5,000 cases in six African countries—Sudan, Ghana, Mali, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Niger.  Nigeria and Niger have since stopped transmission, and final case totals for 2009—estimated at fewer than 3,500—will be confirmed in 2010. Guinea worm disease is poised to be the next disease after smallpox to be eradicated.
