| Filarial worms infect over 100 million people in tropic regions (Wucheria bancrofti is more common than Brugia malayi). Worms, which are spread by mosquitos, reside in the human lymphatic system where they can block lymphatic drainage. Chronic infection can result in swelling and scarring of limbs and genitals.
