Relapses of Plasmodium vivax infection usually result from activation of heterologous hypnozoites. [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: Relapses originating from hypnozoites are characteristic of Plasmodium vivax infections. Thus, reappearance of parasitemia after treatment can result from relapse, recrudescence, or reinfection.

A high force of plasmodium vivax blood-stage infection drives the rapid acquisition of immunity in papua new guinean children. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 When both parasite species are co-endemic, Plasmodium vivax incidence peaks in younger children compared to P. falciparum. To identify differences in the number of blood stage infections of these species and its potential link to acquisition of immunity,

Evidence of Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer Between Humans and Plasmodium vivax [PDF]
, 2011 The horizontal transfer of DNA between different organisms is a major force shaping the genomes of prokaryotes, but is considered to have a minor role in eukaryotes, with only a handful of known examples, mostly of limited size.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria cases outside Africa. Unlike P. falciparum, the P. vivax life-cycle includes a dormant liver stage, the hypnozoite, which can cause infection in the absence of mosquito transmission.
