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.
