Lymphatic Filariasis

Lymphatic filariasis is a human disease caused by parasitic worms known as filarial worms. There are no signs in most cases of the disease. However, some people develop a syndrome called elephantiasis, which is marked by severe swelling of the arms, legs, breasts, or genitals. The skin may also become thicker and the condition may become painful. The body changes have the potential to affect the social and economic condition of the individual. Bites of infected mosquitoes spread the worms. There are three types of worms known to cause the disease: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori, with the most widespread being Wuchereria bancrofti. These worms damage the lymphatic system. Microscopic examinatio diagnoses the illness.
