This refers to chylocele of tunica vaginalis in a parasitic disease (usually an infectious tropical disease) that is caused by thread-like nematodes (roundworms) belonging to the superfamily Filarioidea, also known as "filariae". This diagnosis is due to a parasitic filarial nematode (roundworm) spread by a mosquito vector.
