What is Filaria?
Also called: Elephantiasis
Filaria or Elephantiasis is a parasitic and infectious disease which is transmitted by mosquitoes and caused by a nematode named Wuchereria bancrofti. It is mostly seen in South Asia and is endemic in central India. Filaria is characterized by the thickening of the skin and tissues. The lower extremities of the leg become swollen and look like an elephant foot, hence the name Elephantiasis. The swelling is caused when the parasite lodges in the lymphatic system blocking the out pouring of the lymph. Elephantiasis affects mainly the lower extremities; whereas ears, mucus membranes, and amputation stumps are rarely affected; however, it depends on the species of filaria. W. bancrofti can affect the legs, arms, vulva, breasts; while Brugia timori rarely affects the genitals.
