- Brugia post-infection L3
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000099"] :life-stage/definition Derived from the host after reintroduction by vector feeding or manual inoculation\; these piL3 samples are often-should be conditioned by age (hours or days post-infection).
- 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.
- 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).
- 1-cell embryo Ce
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000006"] :life-stage/definition Also called zygote. -50min till 0min of first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Contains 1 cell.
- blastula embryo Ce
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000005"] :life-stage/definition The C. elegans life stage spanning 0-100min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Proliferate from 1 cell to 28 cells. From first cleavage until the start of gastrulation.
- proliferating embryo Ce
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000004"] :life-stage/definition The C. elegans life stage spanning 0-350min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Proliferate from 1 cell to 560 cells. From start of first cleavage until cleavage is over.
- 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.
