On the basis of morphological characteristics of adult and microfilarial stages, Wuchereria kalimantani sp. n. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) is described. The parasites were recovered from the inguinal lymph nodes and testes of silvered leaf monkeys (Presbytis cristatus) from a rubber estate, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Adult males are characterized by having more than 24 caudal papillae, a left spicule with a simple lamina, four pairs of sessile caudal papillae, a blunt tail, a mean overall length of 41 mm, and sheathed microfilariae with a nude tail tip; accordingly, the parasite is placed in the genus Wuchereria. This is the second species of Wuchereria described on the basis of both adult and embryonic forms, and is the first such species that has been found to infect primates naturally.
基于成虫和微丝蚴阶段的形态特征，描述了卡里曼丹吴策线虫新种（线虫纲：丝虫总科）。这些寄生虫是从印度尼西亚南加里曼丹（婆罗洲）班贾尔摄政区一个橡胶种植园的银叶猴（白臀叶猴）腹股沟淋巴结和睾丸中采集到的。成年雄虫的特征为：尾乳突超过24个，左交合刺具简单薄片，四对无柄尾乳突，尾部钝圆，总长平均为41毫米，微丝蚴具鞘，尾尖裸露；因此，该寄生虫被归入吴策线虫属。这是第二个基于成虫和胚胎形态描述的吴策线虫物种，也是首个被发现自然感染灵长类动物的此类物种。
