42. Dracunculiasis, Guinea worm disease Guinea-worm disease is caused by the parasitic worm Dracunculus medinensis or "Guinea-worm,” the largest of the tissue parasite affecting humans. The adult femalecarries about 3 million embryos, can measure to 800 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter. After being ingested, it grows and migrates through the victim's subcutaneous tissues causing severe pain especially in the joints. The worm eventually emerges (usually from the feet), causing an intensely painful oedema, a blister and an ulcer accompanied by fever, nausea and vomiting. Former President Jimmy Carter’s foundation has nearly eradicated the disease in Africa! Hooray! Former President Jimmy Carter’s foundation has nearly eradicated the disease in Africa! Hooray!
