But now, scientists are on the verge of eradicating the parasite, humanity’s oldest and largest nematode enemy. This program journeys to Sudan, the country most affected by the Guinea worm, where its impact, along with the traditional and arduous method of removing the creature, is demonstrated. Viewers are also shown how new health care and clean-water programs are put into action.

This video is part of the Kill or Cure series.\n
