- Brugia life stage
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000091"] :life-stage/definition Any Brugia developmental stage, including embryo, larva and adult stage.
- Brugia postembryonic stage
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000093"] :life-stage/definition A developemental life stage in a roundworm of the genus Brugia that occurs from egg hatching until death.
- Brugia larval stage
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000097"] :life-stage/definition A developmental life stage of a roundworm of the genus Brugia that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood.
- Brugia embryo
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000092"] :life-stage/definition The whole period of embryogenesis in a roundworm of the genus Brugia, from the formation of an egg until hatching.
- Brugia microfilaria
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000665"] :life-stage/definition An early stage in the life cycle of Brugia species, which develops from the egg and precedes the L1 stage.
- Brugia sheathed microfilaria
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000077"] :life-stage/definition A Brugia microfilaria life stage in which larvae are surrounded by a membrane thought to be derived from the vitelline membrane, hence \"sheathed\".
- Brugia early embryo
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000094"] :life-stage/definition Proliferates from 1 to 100 cells. As the Brugia female reproductive tract is long (>10 cm), it is possible to dissect it and select early embryos just by isolating early parts of the post-spermatheca uterus.
- Brugia adult
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000083"] :life-stage/definition The life-stage that begins when a B. malayi individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. Adult B. malayi (or at least adult females) can live for 10 years in a human host, and can outlive their rodent laboratory hosts\; it is usual to state the chronological age of the nematodes in days or months post-infection, and occasionally post-patency (the production of first microfilariae).
