W. kalinantani is a new species, which is norphologically and taxononically related to W. bancrofii. This new species is thefirst nenùer of the genus Wuchereria in which adults have been recovered fron naturally infected nonkey (P. cristatus). Experinents were done to establish the W. knlinantani infected P. cristatus as a prinate nodel in the tertiary screening of new filaricides.
