摘要：
It is a known fact that dracunculiasis (guinea worm infection) can be controlled through the provision of clean water. This case report elucidates some of the problems militating against the effectiveness of such a control method in a rural and illiterate community. These problems are borne from inappropriate equipment, health education and cultural prejudices. Solutions to these problems are suggested.
