This species was first described from Water buffalo in 1879, and named "Filaria poeli". In 1912, it was transferred to the newly erected genus "Elaeophora" Railliet and Henry 1912. In 1938, a detailed redescription of "E. poeli" was published. In that study, "E. poeli" was determined to be the same animal that previous authors had referred to as "Filaria blini" and "Filaria haemophila", both isolated from Water buffalo aortas.
