  • Title: Guinea worm disease--the final chapter?
    Author: Muller R.
    Journal: Trends Parasitol; 2005 Nov; 21(11):521-4. PubMed ID: 16150643.
    Abstract:
    The global campaign for the eradication of dracunculiasis has succeeded in reducing the incidence of guinea worm disease by >99% in the past 20 years. This has been accomplished by the provision of safe drinking water supplies, filtration of drinking water, chemical control of intermediate hosts, case containment and, crucially, local health-education initiatives.
