A stylized illustration depicts a slender, coiled filarial nematode with tapered ends. In parasitology and tropical medicine, this helminth represents an adult roundworm that causes LF (lymphatic filariasis). Hierarchically, it is a multicellular organism within phylum Nematoda and family Onchocercidae, parasitizing the lymphatic system of Homo sapiens (human). Adults inhabit lymphatic vessels, while mf (microfilariae) circulate in peripheral blood. Functionally, the parasite induces lymphatic inflammation, obstruction, and edema through chronic infection of lymphatic tissues.
