What are the Symptoms of Plasmodium Ovale Infection?
The symptoms of a P. ovale infection are similar to those caused by other malaria parasites. They include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. P. ovale can also cause a condition known as relapsing malaria, where the parasite can remain dormant in the liver and reactivate weeks or months after the initial infection, leading to recurrent bouts of illness.
