title: Population studies of Plasmodium vivax. 2. Distribution of manifestations in foci of tertian malaria.
abstract: The authors investigate a mathematical model based on the theory they proposed in a previous publication. The model fits field data collected in re-established foci of tertian malaria. The patterns of distribution of manifestations of tertian malaria among the population may readily be explained on the basis of the theory of polymorphism of sporozoites.
