Brugia timori is found in the lesser Sunda islands of the Indonesian archipelago, such as Timor . It is nocturnally periodic and is transmitted by the mosquito Anopheles barbirostris which breeds in rice fields. The adults also differ morphologically from B. malayi . Subsequent scaring over thick hard, cord like lymphatics are a hallmark of the disease.
Elephantiasis resulting from timorian infection is rare.
