Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter died at his home in Plains , Georgia , nearly two years after he first began hospice care.

Carter Center’s Guinea Worm Eradication program is now inches away from total victory.

The worm was a suitable candidate for eradication because the worms primarily rely on human hosts to reach their full life cycle.
