Can malaria symptoms reappear later in a lifetime and what can cause it?

Recurrent malaria: Malaria due to different species of plasmodium can recur if the extra-erythrocytic phases of the disease are not appropriately managed. When recurrence happens it has to be treated as primary malaria and all forms of the disease must be managed. It has been reported to recur as long as 26 years after primary infection. I have seen it 20 years after.
