What is a parasitic roundworm in the tropics that infects and swells the lymphatic system?
The parasitic roundworm that infects and swells the lymphatic system in the tropics is called Wuchereria bancrofti. It is responsible for lymphatic filariasis, a disease that causes severe swelling, particularly of the legs and genitals, due to the obstruction of lymphatic vessels. The worms are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes, and the disease can lead to significant morbidity and social stigma. Effective treatments and preventive measures are available, but the disease remains a public health challenge in many tropical regions.
