| 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). | |
