- sporocyst
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000707"] :life-stage/definition A sac-like secondary larval stage. The miracidium transforms into a primary (mother) sporocyst\; germ cells within the primary sporocyst begin dividing to produce secondary (daughter) sporocysts, which migrate to the snail hepatopancreas\; once at the hepatopancreas, germ cells within the secondary sporocyst begin to divide again, this time producing cercariae.
- gastrulating embryo Ce
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000010"] :life-stage/definition The C. elegans life stage spanning 100-290min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Proliferate from 28 cells to 421 cells. Referring to the whole period of gastrulation.
- Brugia late embryo
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000096"] :life-stage/definition From Lima bean to hatching.
- Onchocerca L3 larva (vector stage)
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000732"] :life-stage/definition L3 larvae that develop from the L2 larvae in the arthropod vector. This stage is infectious to the mammalian host once it has migrated to the insect proboscis.
- Brugia middle embryo
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000095"] :life-stage/definition Proliferates from 100 cells to Lima bean stage.
- 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.
- L4.3 larva Ce
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000686"] :life-stage/definition The fourth sub-stage of the L4 larva. vulFs have separated and the apex of the lumen is flat and capped by the anchor cell. The uterine lumen starts to form. At 20 Centigrade: 38.1 hours after hatching, 4.1 hours from the L3-to-L4 molt.
- newly excysted juveniles
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000718"] :life-stage/definition A Digenean (fluke) life stage that occurs in the definitive host. The stage begins when the metacercariae excyst in the intestine of the host, and continues as the NEJs migrate through the liver parenchyma where they increase in size to juvenile flukes and then to mature adults.
- schistosomulum
importer/temp
[:life-stage/id "WBls:0000709"] :life-stage/definition A tailless cercarium of Schistosoma sp, which resides in the definitive host. After penetration and spending a few days in the skin, schistosomula migrate to the lungs and enter the systemic circulation and are carried to the mesenteric vein of the host where they mature into adult schistosomes.
