Elephantiasis is a chronic parasitic disease caused by filarial worms, mainly Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, or Brugia timori. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Culex, Anopheles, or Aedes mosquitoes. The parasites live in the lymphatic vessels, causing blockage of lymph flow, which leads to swelling and thickening of body parts, especially the legs, arms, breasts, or genital organs.

Common symptoms include fever, pain, and severe swelling of limbs or scrotum, giving the affected part an appearance similar to an elephant’s skin—hence the name elephantiasis. The disease develops slowly after repeated infections over many years. Diagnosis is done by detecting microfilariae in blood. Treatment includes antifilarial drugs such as Diethylcarbamazine (DEC), Albendazole, and Ivermectin, along with preventive measures like mosquito control and mass drug administration programs.
