Lymphatic Filariasis – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a parasitic disease caused by long, slender nematode worms of the subfamily Filarioidea. LF’s three primary causative agents are Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, and Wuchereria bancrofti, with over 90% of cases being attributed to the latter. This disease is primarily found in tropical regions between 41° N and 37° S. The transmission of the parasites occurs via the bite of an infected female mosquito, which deposits larvae on the skin at the site of the bite. The larvae then enter the lymphatic vessels, where they mature into adult worms for 6 to 12 months. Adult female worms have a life cycle of 7 years and can release up to 10,000 microfilariae daily. These microfilariae are transported via the lymphatic flow and enter the bloodstream. To aid in resource distribution and treatment evaluation, individuals with LF can be classified into several categories: exposed but uninfected, infected but clinically asymptomatic, acquired acute filarial disease with or without microfilaria presence and acquired chronic filarial infection with pathologic conditions. Most infected individuals are asymptomatic, despite circulating microfilariae or filarial antigen. However, these asymptomatic individuals often exhibit underlying lymphatic damage. As the disease progresses, lymphedema may develop, providing a conducive environment for secondary infections and resulting in acute dermatolymphangioadenitis (ADLA) attacks. ADLA is characterized by fever, severe pain, and swollen limbs or genitalia and can lead to elephantiasis if left untreated. Elephantiasis is characterized by grotesquely enlarged and edematous body parts, disfigurement, and permanent disability. The progression of LF includes acute lymphangitis stage (characterized by fever, skin rashes, and red streaks), dermatolymphangioadenitis stages (characterized by disability and episodic inflammation), and chronic obstructive stage (characterized by edema, skin changes, and hyfrocele).
• More than 120 million people are infected with lymphatic filariasis worldwide, and some 40 million are disfigured or disabled by the disease.
