Usual intervals from initial sporozoite inoculation to primary illness and then first relapse in tropical P. vivax. This assumes multiplication in the developing hepatic schizonts is similar in the primary infection and relapse. Relapse patency is delayed after treatment with slowly eliminated anti-malarials because of blood stage multiplication inhibition from residual drug levels
