	The first stage larva of nematodes.		L1 larval stage	WBls:0000106

• Primary Identifier: Expr11519
• Pattern: Bma-phy-2 is expressed only in the first larval stage (microfilaria) and the early and mid L3 stages. The lower abundance of Bma-phy-2 in microfilaria may reflect a more restricted cell/tissue expression pattern. Bma-phy-2 was barely detectable in the late fourth stage larvae (L4) and adult stages.

	The second stage larva. Derived from flight muscles of vector host; some development in vitro, with L1 to L2 moulting, has been demonstrated but rarely; these are often staged by hours or days post blood meal.		Brugia L2	WBls:0000080

	In the mosquito, the microfilariae shed sheaths, penetrate the midgut, and migrate to the thoracic muscles were the microfilariae increase in size, molt, and develop into infective larvae (L1 and L3) over a span of 7-21 days.		Brugia unsheathed microfilaria	WBls:0000663
