So heartworm disease. What is it?

心丝病这是什么病？

China stopped the disease by ordering people in villages to use this kind of salt.

中国通村民使用这种盐来阻止丝病。

For example, last year China and Egypt announced the elimination of lymphatic filariasis, a disease that currently disables some 40 million people.

例如，去年中国和埃及宣布已消灭淋巴丝病，这一疾病目前已使约四千万人成为残疾。

Filariasis happens when one of these nematodes gets in the lymphatic system and causes a bit of fibrosis, which creates a physical blockage that obstructs the normal flow of lymph.

当这些线进入淋巴系统，并引起轻微的纤，就会导致丝病，进而造成物理性的阻塞，阻碍淋巴的正常流动。

One of the most common global causes of lymphedema is filariasis, an infection with nematode parasites, which are tiny worms; the most common species are: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori.

丝病是淋巴水肿在全球范围内最普遍的病因，为线类寄生的感染所致；最常见的物种有班氏吴策线、马来布鲁丝与帝汶布鲁丝。
