This article examines the long term effects of vector control on the prevalence of B. malayi infection and disease, by comparing the results of 3 earlier studies (1934, 1955, 1976) in one area of south India with a recent (1986) survey. The data indicate that disease and infection prevalence have declined continuously over the last 50 years. Infection has declined (from 21 to 2%) more markedly than disease (from 24 to 10%). Age-specific data indicate that this difference is due to the irreversibility of the clinical signs and the long term survival of diseased cohorts. The results indicate that the prevalence of clinical brugian filariasis can be reduced using vector control and that such control programmes cannot be evaluated in short term or by using crude morbidity statistics.
