【 摘 要 】

Three cases of vivax malaria originating from the Amazon region were detected after living in Brasilia, Federal District (considered to be a non-endemic area), for six months. Long incubation periods have been described only for infections due to strains of Plasmodium vivax in temperate climates. It was not possible to genotype the parasites.
