Who Discovered Guinea worm Disease?

Guinea worm disease was first described by ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who noted the presence of the parasite in his medical writings. However, it was Dr. John F. Enders in the 20th century who played a significant role in understanding the disease and its transmission. The disease has been known for centuries, but it gained more attention for eradication efforts in the late 20th century, particularly through the work of organizations like The Carter Center.
