Lymphatic filariasis is a mosquito-borne disease caused primarily by Wuchereria bancrofti, affecting millions globally and leading to significant morbidity. The disease is characterized by the presence of adult worms in the lymphatic system, causing symptoms such as lymphedema, hydrocele, and elephantiasis. The life cycle involves transmission through mosquito bites, with microfilariae developing in the mosquito before infecting humans.
