O período de incubação prolongado de infecções por Plasmodium vivax pode estar relacionado ao pequeno número de esporozoítos inoculados e ao predomínio de formas bradiesporozoítas ou hipnozoítas
As formas bradiesporozoítas ou hipnozoítas predominam no Hemisfério Norte e as formas taquizoítas no Hemisfério Sul[1]
