1. Median parasite counts during the first 40 days of patent parasitemia for 69 patients infected with Plasmodium malariae.
Median parasite counts during the first 40 days of patent parasitemia for 69 patients infected with Plasmodium malariae. Maximum parasite counts are limited in infections with P. malariae due to the low number of merozoites produced, 72-hour developmental cycle, and preference for older erythrocytes.
