Abstract
Accumulation of erythrocytic parasites in bone marrow and the spleen has been reported in cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria. If this occurs commonly, these stages represent a possible source of early, relapse-like homologous recurrences. Moreover, they might hinder the elimination of malaria from human populations. Pertinent research suggestions have been made.
Keywords: Plasmodium cynomolgi; Plasmodium vivax; elimination; eradication; hypnozoite; relapse.
