Well, the stomach already contains acid. But...
Filariasis is caused by nematode worms in the superfamily known as Filarioidea. There are three groups of nematodes that cause this: Lymphatic Filariasis, Subcutaneous Filariasis, and Serous Cavity Filariasis. The first group occupies the Lymphatic system (including Lymph nodes). The second group dwells in the fatty layer of the skin. The third group occupies the serous cavity of the abdomen. You receive these nematodes either by blood-sucking creatures like mosquitoes or by copepod crustaceans. The filarial worms will continue to mature in your body.
It would seem that the group which dwells in the serous cavity in the abdomen may cause the stomach to produce extra stomach acid as a defense mechanism. However, as far as I know, there is no evidence for this.
