I guess the answer given here is wrong.

I m science student n in my reference books it is given that filaria is caused by a nematode infection and the causative agent is wuchereria bancrofti, brugia malayi, and brugia timor more offend. This is not a mosquito. I may be wrong but this is what I have read. I am sorry if the information which I have supplied is wrong.

Thank you.
