Elephantiasis (el-e-fan-TY-a-sis) is the result of a tropical worm infection called filariasis (fil-a-RY-a-sis). When infected mosquitoes transmit the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti to people, the worm blocks the lymphatic system. The blockage causes swelling in the legs or other parts of the body, making these body parts appear large and puffy, or elephant-like. Elephantiasis is not elephant man disease, which is an inherited condition with completely different causes and symptoms.
Elephantiasis is sometimes mistakenly spelled elephantitis, and itâs not actually a disease but a condition. Itâs a condition caused by a malfunctioning lymph system.When the bodyâs lymph system is taxed or not working correctly, it canât effectively fight off bacteria. Sometimes this can lead to swelling in various body parts and a hardening of the skin around these swollen parts.tâs a condition caused by a malfunctioning lymph system.
