The statement that is NOT true about Guinea worm disease is It is a noncommunicable disease

Explanation:

The Guinea worm disease is a disease that infects people who drink water contaminated with copepods carrying worm larvae. It can be prevented by filtering drinking water and stopping infected people from entering shared water sources. People with blisters and visible worm wounds / infections could potentially release the female worm or a liquid which in contact with water release more larvae.
