SUDAN-SOUTH-HEALTH-GUINEAWORM
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PETER MARTELL
A volunteer health worker removes a Guinea worm from the leg of a patient in the village of Yari in Central Equatoria state on February 2, 2010. The Guinea worm, also known as dracunculiasis, from the Latin for "little dragons", is a particularly painful water-borne parasite that can leave people weakened and sick for months every year. Caught by drinking contaminated water, the worm larvae grow into wriggling creatures up to a metre in length, and mate inside the human body.
