Summary
Description Preventing Guinea worm disease in Chad (34173755220).jpg |
For some neglected tropical diseases, the simplest of interventions can play a major role in curbing disease transmission. Here, children in Chad hold pipe filters that are used to prevent the transmission of dracunculiasis, or Guinea worm disease, through contaminated water sources. Cases of Guinea worm have declined sharply as a result of widespread use of pipe filters and increased awareness about the disease, from 3.5 million cases in 1986 to just 25 cases in 3 countries in 2016.
