| The third stage larva. | Brugia L3 | WBls:0000081 | ||
| 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. | Brugia L4 | WBls:0000082 | ||
| 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 |
