Many are aware of smallpox eradication while unaware of parasite eradication programs: Guinea worm, the eradication of Texas tick fever, Dourine, and screwworm from North America, lymphatic filariasis from China, schistosomiasis in Japan, hydatid disease from Iceland. These are models for the continued approach of one health to disease control.
