Solution
Filariasis
Explanation:
Filariasis is caused by filarial worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti, which are parasitic helminths. These worms live in the lymphatic system and are transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The other diseases, tetanus, polio, and tuberculosis, are caused by bacteria or viruses, not helminths.
