What is Filaria?

Why is Filaria done?
- When symptoms of filaria appear including fever with chills and headaches, inflammation and swelling of the lymph nodes, progressive swelling of the legs and genitals to unnatural proportions
- To screen for the presence of the parasite if a person has been bitten by a mosquito and infection is suspected
