The development of O. petersi, O. belemensis and O. spinosa is similar to that of O. bacillaris: the larvae are in the adipose tissue of various mosquitoes; the infective stages are characterized by the longitudinal salient ridges of the cuticule, the long tail ended by two lappets, the well-developed glandular oesophagus; the female genital anlage lies in the anterior half part of the body, but is not very far from the median line. This character opposes these species to the other viviparous Filariae and stresses the originality of the Oswaldofilariinar.
彼得斯奥氏丝虫、贝伦奥氏丝虫和棘奥氏丝虫的发育过程与杆菌奥氏丝虫相似：幼虫存在于各种蚊子的脂肪组织中；感染阶段的特征为角质层有纵向突出的嵴、长尾末端有两个叶状结构、腺性食管发育良好；雌性生殖原基位于身体前半部分，但离中线不远。这一特征使这些物种与其他胎生丝虫不同，并突出了奥斯瓦尔德丝虫属的独特性。
