Only 20 cases of Guinea worm disease (40% contained) were reported worldwide in January-October 2015 compared to 115 cases (71% contained) reported during the same period of 2014 (Figure 1). This is a provisional reduction of 83%. Zero cases were reported worldwide in January and again in September 2015. So far this year Chad has reported 9 cases (0 contained), South Sudan 4 cases (2 contained), Mali 4 cases (3 contained), and Ethiopia 3 cases (3 contained).
