适用于流行性社区的一般使用的随机方法估计班氏丝虫微丝蚴病感染者的平均年瞬时损失率，和未感染者的收益，从纵向数据。该方法显示出给出类似的结果（即，损失率与年龄无关，而增加率在不同年龄组之间有显著差异）与以前使用的基于传播中断的方法相比;前提是调查间隔期>5年。该方法用于估计W.的繁殖寿命。在流行区的班氏病5年。结果表明，寿命处于先前估计的低端。
A stochastic approach appropriate for general use in endemic communities was applied to estimate the average yearly instantaneous rate of loss of Wuchereria bancrofti microfilaraemia from infected individuals, and gain by uninfected individuals, from longitudinal data. This method was shown to give similar results (i.e., the rate of loss was independent of age, while the rate of gain differed significantly between age classes) to a previously used method based on transmision interruption; provided that the intersurvey interval was >5 years. The method was used to estimate the fecund life span of W. bancrofti in an endemic area at 5 years. The results suggest that the life span is at the lower end of previous estimates.
