Malaria in particular is a target of constant attention. Latest breeds of generically modified mosquitoes are unable to carry the disease [1] or that turn the carried mosquito populations infertile [2]. I'd say that malaria will be eradicated in 30-50 years. Hopefully, Guinea worm will be eradicated, too [3]. Neither malaria nor Guinea worm affect "Western" (rich, industrial) countries directly, but people from these countries most actively work on the eradication, chiefly financed by charitable funds.
