Abstract
A persistent parasitic infection spread by mosquitoes is the cause of the disease filariasis. Long-term infection can cause testicular masses, hydroceles, and extremity swelling. After leprosy, it is the second leading cause of permanent deformity and disability globally. At the moment, lymphatic filariasis (LF) is regarded as a neglected tropical illness. In an effort to end lymphatic filariasis, the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis is mass drug administering (MDA) to populations in endemic areas. There are numerous initiatives to promote MDA participation. Filariasis is spread by five genera of mosquitoes, namely Aedes, Anopheles, Culex, Mansonia, and Ochlerotatus, and is caused by at least three species of nematode parasites, namely Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori.
