"Guinea-worm disease, also known as dracunculiasis, is on the verge of eradication. The World Health Organization (WHO) and its main partners, The Carter Center and the United Nations Children's Fund, are advocating capacity-strengthening to support the remaining endemic countries and previously endemic countries that have not been certified free of transmission to strengthen surveillance and response systems and ensure prompt detection and containment of cases. In countries where transmission still occurs, the disease places a major economic burden on people in affected villages. The cost in lost revenue for individuals and the community can be very high. Almost 97% of guinea-worm disease transmission now occurs in newly independent South Sudan. There, progress continues to be reported and transmission rates are declining (by almost 95% since 2006 when a fullscale programme was launched). Lack of safe drinkingwater, insecurity and population movements remain major impediments to interrupting transmission. Advocacy campaigns for capacity strengthening aim to bolster the surveillance system in Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, South Sudan and Sudan, and enable prompt detection and containment of reported and rumoured cases. Of the 20 countries that were endemic in the 1980s, guineaworm cases occurred in only 4 countries in 2011 (Chad, Ethiopia, Mali and South Sudan)."--Page [1].

The dream of a world completely free of disease may seem utopian, but eradication—used in its modern sense to mean the reduction of the number of cases of a disease to zero by deliberate public health interventions—has been pursued repeatedly. Campaigns against yellow fever, malaria, and smallpox have been among the largest, most costly programs ever undertaken in international public health. But only one so far has been successful—that against smallpox. And yet in 2007 Bill and Melinda Gates surprised the world with the announcement that they were committing their foundation to eradicating malaria. Polio eradication is another of their priorities. Are such costly programs really justifiable? The first comprehensive account of the major disease-eradication campaigns from the early twentieth century right up to the present, Eradication places these ambitious goals in their broad historical and contemporary contexts. From the life and times of the American arch-eradicationist Dr. Fred Lowe Soper (1893-1977), who was at the center of many of the campaigns and controversies surrounding eradication in his lifetime, to debates between proponents of primary health care approaches to ill health versus the eradicationists, Nancy Leys Stepan’s narrative suggests that today these differing public health approaches may be complementary rather than in conflict. Enlightening for general readers and specialists alike, Eradication is an illuminating look at some of the most urgent problems of health and disease around the world.
