Human filariae in Indonesia.

The distribution of human filariae in Indonesia has not changed significantly since initial reports of the disease were made in 1928. Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi are widely distributed but the newly described Brugia timori appears to be restricted to the Lesser Sunda Islands. W. bancrofti and B. timori in Indonesia are nocturnally periodic and B. malayi has nocturnally periodic and B. malayi has nocturnally periodic and nocturnally subperiodic strains.
