Human blood infected with Plasmodium vivax taken from patients in Timika, Papua. The parasite
stains vivid purple and is shown in various stages. Image courtesy of Dr.
Bruce Russell currently at Laboratory

Electron micrograph of a schizont form of the Plasmodium vivax parasite. At maturity, each of the round merozoite forms will burst out of the cell and infect other young red blood cells.

of malaria in the village of Basken, Papua New Guinea. Plasmodium vivax accounts for a significant portion of the malaria
burden in Papua New Guinea. Photograph courtsey of Dr. Nicolas Senn, Papua
New Guinea Institute of Medical Research, Madang, Papua New Guinea.
Electron micrograph of a red blood cell infected with Plasmodium vivax. The parasite infects
young red blood cells but the cells remain labile and stretchy so they are able
to squeeze through the human microvasculature and do not block capillaries, in
contrast to cerebral malaria. Image courtesy of Dr. Jane Carlton, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, United States.

dormant stage of Plasmodium vivax.
