Over the summer of 2013 / 2014, approximately 75 % of confirmed malaria cases were due to " Plasmodium vivax " and 25 % of cases were due to the more dangerous " Plasmodium falciparum ".

This species has been used as a model for human " Plasmodium vivax " because " Plasmodium cynomolgi " has shared the same life cycle and some important biological features with " P . Vivax ".

The proposed indication for tafenoquine is for treatment of the hypnozoite stages of " Plasmodium vivax " and " Plasmodium ovale " that are responsible for relapse of these malaria species even when the blood stages are successfully cleared.
34.
"Plasmodium vivax " may have originated in Asia and the related species " Plasmodium simium " appears to be derived through a transfer from the human " P . vivax " to New World monkey species in South America.

He studied the life cycle of " Plasmodium " and related the timing of tertian and quartan fevers seen in malaria with the life cycle of the organisms now named " Plasmodium vivax " and " Plasmodium malariae ", respectively.

The Center for Disease Control ( CDC ) has an application that allows people to view specific parts of the world and how they are affected by " Plasmodium vivax ", and other types of the " Plasmodium " parasite.

In 2009, together with other researchers, he participated in the finding of positive selection of G6PD ( glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase ) and its effect on Plasmodium vivax ( one of the six species of malaria parasites that commonly infect humans ) density.

The initial approach to treat for dengue fever instead of malaria is understandable given that deadly Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant malaria in the Solomon Islands but it was not so in places familiar to U .
