I think you mean the guinea worm disease. Another term for this disease is Dracunculiasis. It develops in the subcutaneous tissue of mammals and has been reported in humans, dogs, horses, cats, cattle and others in Africa and Asia. The worm is acquired by drinking stagnated water contaminated with the guinea worm larvae.
