How long can malaria last?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: Malaria reactivation from latent infection form plasmodium ovale or plasmodium vivax can occur three years after an infection. Symptoms in patients with subclinical parasitemia have been reported decades after the initial infection.

For a lifetime: Especially if not treated, it can keep coming back for decades. We saw this in our World War II personnel long after they returned.
