Type of filariasis	Causative nematode	Vectors	Life cycle
Lymphatic filariasis	Wuchereria bancrofti	Culex as C. pipiens Aedes as A. aegypti Anopheles as A. arabinensis Coquillettidia.as C. juxtamansonia	Infected mosquito bite introduces the third stage larva onto the skin and then enters to the blood through the wound. The larvae reside in the lymphatic vessels and mature to adult worms. Adult worm produce sheathed microfiliae that migrate to lymph and blood. Another mosquito ingests the microfiliae. Microfiliae grow up inside the mosquito till third stage larvae. In another bite to a host skin the mosquito introduces the larvae onto the skin.
Lymphatic filariasis	Brugia timori and Brugia malayi
Subcutaneous filariasis	Loa loa filaria
	Mansonella streptocerca
	Onchocerca volvulus
Serous cavity filariasis	Mansonella ozzardi
Serous cavity filariasis	Mansonella perstans
