Like other human filariasis infections,<unk>  filariasis causes acute fever and chronic lymphedema. The life cycle of<unk>  is very similar to that of Wuchereria bancrofti and<unk>  malayi, leading to nocturnal periodicity of the disease symptoms. Eosinophilia is common during acute stages of infection. So far<unk>  has only been found in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. It is locally confined to areas inhabited by its mosquito vector, which breeds in rice fields. One study of the prevalence of infection in Mainang village, Alor Island, found microfilariae in the blood of 157 of 586 individuals (27%), with 77 of them (13%) exhibiting lymphedema of the leg.
