Abstract
Two species of microfilariae have been found in Kra monkeys from the Perak river. One contained larvae apparently identical with those of Mf. malayi: this is of interest as should this identity be actual the adult should soon be found, and the existence of a reservoir host established. The other contained a large unsheathed microfilaria, possibly an undescribed species, and almost certainly of no medical importance.

A review of the complexity of biology of lymphatic filarial parasites
