After decades of effort, Guinea worm is on the verge of joining smallpox as an eradicated disease. In addition to support the Gates Foundation gives to us on the NTDs we focus on, we want to draw your attention to a photo gallery on the Foundation’s website profiling this battle. These images, three of which are shown above, provide a face to the battle against Guinea worm. You can find these, and the rest, here.
