Question

In the infected region of filariasis, the following glands degenerate?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Filariasis affect the lives of millions of people, especially those living in tropical countries, and may cause significant dermatologic manifestations.

The filarial parasites that pose the most serious public health threats are Wuchereria bancrofti,Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, Onchocerca volvulus, and Loa loa.

All of these cause cutaneous manifestations. Filarial worms of the genus Dirofilaria and zoonotic Onchocerca species, normally parasitic in animals, occasionally enter a human host and undergo partial or aberrant development.

These may cause cutaneous or subcutaneous manifestations.

Another filarial nematode, Mansonella genus, is also a public health threat.
