Plasmodium vivax is a protozoal parasite and a human pathogen. The most frequent and widely distributed cause of recurring (Benign tertian) malaria, P. vivax is one of the six species of malarial parasite that commonly infect humans. It is less virulent than Plasmodium falciparum, which is the deadliest of the six, and is seldom fatal. P. vivax is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito, since it is only the female of the species that bites.
