The parasite Plasmodium vivax is the most frequent and widely distributed cause of benign, but recurring (tertian), malaria. It is one of four species of parasite that commonly cause malaria infection in humans. It is less virulent than Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest of the four, and seldom fatal. P. vivax is passed on by the female Anopheles mosquito, since it is the only gender that bites.

E. coli.-expressed recombinant protein corresponding to 108-amino acid Plasmodium vivax MSP-1 protein (malaria MSP-1, pv) fused to truncated maltose binding protein (MBP)
