The President, join the fight against Guinea Worm
Dracunculiasis - Guinea Worm Disease
(dra-KUNK-you-LIE-uh-sis)
Dracunculiasis, or Guinea Worm Disease, is caused by the parasite Dracunculus medinensis. The disease affects poor communities in remote parts of Africa that do not have safe water to drink. There is no treatment for Guinea worm disease. Removal of the worm as it emerges from the infected person's skin is curative or surgical removal by a trained doctor.
