- Brugia L4
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000082"] :life-stage/definition The fourth stage larva. Should be conditioned by days post infection\; as moulting is not synchronous, some samples are defined as L3\/L4, indicating a mix of individuals as late L3, moulting, and early L4.
- cysticercoid stage
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000717"] :life-stage/definition A larval stage of some cestodes, including Hymenolepis sp. The cysticercoid is a type of cyst that is found in free form as well as being tissue-enclosed.
- Strongyloides post parasitic L3
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000795"] :life-stage/definition Strongyloides infective L3 stage that develops from a parasitic adult female as part of a parasitic life-cycle.
- Strongyloides post free-living L3
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000796"] :life-stage/definition Strongyloides infective L3 stage that develops from free-living adult worms as part of a free-living life-cycle.
- Strongyloides post parasitic L1
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000794"] :life-stage/definition Strongyloides L1 larval stage that is the progeny of a parasitic adult female as a part of a of parasitic life-cycle.
- Strongyloides post free-living L1
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000793"] :life-stage/definition Strongyloides L1 larval stage that is the progeny of free-living adult worms as a part of a of free-living life-cycle.
- Strongyloides infective L3
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000680"] :life-stage/definition Strongyloides infective stage L3 larval stage. This stage can develop as a part of a free-living life-cycle, or from a parasitic, parthenogenic female stage.
- Brugia L3i
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000098"] :life-stage/definition Also known as infective L3, or iL3\; i.e. isolated from the vector salivary glands\; these samples may-should be conditioned by age, which is usually counted in days from the blood meal.
- oncosphere
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000713"] :life-stage/definition A six-hooked larva, called the hexcanth, enclosed by one or two embryonic envelopes. This stage invades the first (or sole) intermediate host where it develops into a bladder larva, such as a hydatid cyst.
- 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.
