Correct Answer: Elephantiasis


Solution : The correct option is Elephantiasis.

Among the diseases that have been stated, "Elephantiasis" (lymphatic filariasis) differs from the rest in that it is caused by filarial nematode worms rather than protozoan parasites. These worms are members of the Filarioidea family and are transferred to humans via mosquito bites. Diseases such as "Oriental sores," "Sleeping sickness," and "Kala-azar" are all caused by protozoans. "Oriental sores" are caused by Leishmania parasites, which cause leishmaniasis, whereas "Sleeping sickness" is caused by Trypanosoma brucei parasites, which cause African trypanosomiasis. The protozoan disease "Kala-azar" is caused by Leishmania donovani.
