Expert Answer
The germs of filariasis spread when the Culex mosquito bites an infected person. When the mosquito sucks blood, it receives germs of filariasis, which grow and multiply within its body. When such an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, these germs are introduced into the healthy person through its saliva.
