Brugia timori is a parasitic worm that belongs to the family Onchocercidae. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes, particularly those in the genus Mansonia. This worm is known to cause lymphatic filariasis, a disease that can lead to severe swelling and discomfort in the limbs and genitals. The life cycle of Brugia timori involves both human and mosquito hosts. Once inside the human body, the larvae develop into adult worms, which can live for several years. The presence of these worms can disrupt the lymphatic system, leading to complications such as lymphedema and hydrocele.
