Mild tertian malaria is caused by _______ ?
Correct answer: A. Plasmodium vivax
- A. Plasmodium vivax
- B. Plasmodium falciparum
- C. Plasmodium ovale
- D. Plasmodium malariae
Explanation
Plasmodium vivax causes benign or mild tertian malaria, with fever commonly recurring every 48 hours because the parasite synchronously ruptures red blood cells. Students may choose P. falciparum because it causes the most severe malaria, but falciparum malaria is classically malignant tertian rather than mild tertian.
