Brugia malayi is a roundworm nematode found in Southeast Asia. It causes lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) in humans and is transmitted by mosquitoes.
Hello there! Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi are definitely not viruses, instead, they are nematodes that can cause an infection in humans. Thank you for the question! 😄
Three kinds of round worms cause elephantiasis filariasis: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori
Three kinds of round worms cause elephantiasis filariasis: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori
There are several Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori all of these are transited by mosquito
No Lymphatic Filaraisis is not a virus. It is caused by three different types of parasites called Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugi Timori
Elephantiasis or filariasis, is a parasitic infestation of nematodes. The three nematode species that infect humans and cause filariasis are Brugia malayi , Brugia timori , and Wuchereria bancrofti .
The three main causes of elephantiasis are Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori. With Wuchereria being the most common.
Elephantiasis, also called filariasis, is due to infection by a couple different types of parasitic worms. The three most common types of worms are; Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori.
Anopheles and Mansonia mosquitoes are the carriers of B. malayi
In underdeveloped regions of South America, Central Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean, it can be caused by a parasitic disease known as lymphatic filariasis. Lymphatic filariasis is caused by three different species ofworms known as Brugia malayi, Brugia timori and Wuchereria bancrofti. These worms cause damage and inflammation to the lymphatic system. The larval form of the worms is introduced into the human body through the bite of infected mosquitoes.
The 3 human infecting roundworms are called Strongyloidiasis, Brugia timori and Ascaris lumbricoides :)
Causal organism is a helminth called Wuchereria bancrofti
