Why is dracunculiasis eradication taking so long?
[dracunculiasis]
The
long
time
needed
for
global
eradication
of
dracunculiasis
(
Guinea
worm
disease
)
was
not
anticipated
at
the
outset
.
The
successful
eradication
of
smallpox
in
10
years
compares
with
the
target
date
set
in
1985
for
dracunculiasis
eradication
-
1995
.
Seventeen
years
after
that
date
,
transmission
continues
.
Why
?
Various
factors
are
responsible
,
mainly
lack
of
resources
,
or
resources
ineffectively
used
.
The
example
of
Ghana
,
where
the
programme
stagnated
for
a
decade
,
sheds
light
on
this
delay
.
When
more
resources
were
put
into
Ghana
's
programme
in
2007
,
transmission
of
the
disease
was
interrupted
in
3
years
.
The
variable
success
of
dracunculiasis
eradication
in
different
countries
provides
lessons
for
future
disease
eradication
programmes
.
