Filariasis due to brugia malayi is a parasitic infection caused by the nematode brugia malayi, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. the larvae of the parasite enter the human body through the bite of an infected mosquito, and migrate to the lymphatic system, where they mature and cause inflammation and damage to the lymphatic vessels, leading to symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and fluid accumulation in the limbs.
