The type of malaria that has a three-day cycle is caused by the Plasmodium vivax or Plasmodium ovale parasites. These parasites can remain dormant in the liver as hypnozoites, potentially leading to relapses and making the infection last a lifetime if not properly treated. The classic symptom cycle includes fever every 48 hours, which is characteristic of tertian malaria.
