Waterborne infectious diseases--could they be consigned to history?
[dracunculiasis]
The
development
of
water
resources
,
particularly
in
Africa
,
has
changed
the
face
of
the
continent
,
opening
up
land
for
agriculture
,
providing
electric
power
,
encouraging
settlements
adjacent
to
water
bodies
,
and
bringing
prosperity
to
poor
people
.
Unfortunately
,
the
created
or
altered
water
bodies
provide
ideal
conditions
for
the
transmission
of
waterborne
diseases
and
a
favorable
habitat
for
intermediate
hosts
of
tropical
parasitic
infections
that
cause
disease
and
suffering
.
The
recent
progress
in
control
of
these
waterborne
and
vector-borne
diseases
,
such
as
guinea
worm
,
schistosomiasis
,
lymphatic
filariasis
,
and
onchocerciasis
,
suggests
that
many
of
them
could
be
controlled
effectively
by
2015
,
which
is
the
target
for
reaching
the
Millennium
Development
Goals
.
Donations
of
safe
and
effective
drugs
by
several
pharmaceutical
companies
,
funds
for
delivering
these
donated
drugs
from
foundations
and
bilateral
donors
,
and
effective
global
health
partnerships
should
make
these
diseases
history
.
