Malaria Three days

Three-day malaria (lat. Plasmodium vivax) is a type of malaria pathogen that develops in humans (in the so-called tropical malarial cycle) and in some other vertebrates, including birds and monkeys. It got its name due to its incubation period (3 days). Divided into 5 genotypes. In the human body, this causes the death of the parasite in the liver, since in the phase of formation of ring-shaped bodies it has the ability, being transferred from another host, to lyse (dissolve) red blood cells. It multiplies only in mammalian red blood cells, and is most active in the blood cells of the liver and spleen. There is an assumption that the emergence and development of quartan malaria occurred from tertian malaria.
