It is also a chronically disabling parasitic infection causing elephantiasis, lymphoedema, and hydrocoele. The disease is considered as a major obstacle to economic development in endemic countries. It has been identified by the World Health Organization in 1995 as the second leading cause of permanent and long-term disability on infected individuals. However, there are now global efforts to eliminate the disease by 2020. Nigeria is the third most endemic country in the world.
