Answer 1

Planaria: Platyhelminthes:, Filarial Worm: Aschelminthes/Nemathelminthes.

• Wuchereria, the filarial worms cause a slowly developing chronic inflammation of the organs in which they live for many years.
• They usually live in the lymphatic vessels of the lower limbs and cause elephantiasis or filariasis.
