| A developmental life stage of a roundworm of the genus Brugia that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood. | Brugia larval stage | WBls:0000097 | ||
| 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). | Brugia adult | WBls:0000083 | ||
| The animals have a significant "prepatent" period in the host, where they have moulted to adults but not yet started producing eggs or sperm; this stage is usually-should be conditioned by days post infection, with day 26 to approximately day 60 being the "young adult" in most systems - but note that the speed of development is different in different host genotypes. | Brugia young adult | WBls:0000100 |
