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.read more

A review of the complexity of biology of lymphatic filarial parasites
K. P. Paily,S.L. Hoti,P. K. Das +2 more
TL;DR: Survival analysis of Culex quinquefasciatus infected with W. bancrofti showed that the parasite load in the mosquito is a risk factor of vector survival, and the possibility of in vitro and in vivo culture of filarial parasites is reviewed.
