1869 C. J. Hempel tr. B. Bæhr Sci. Therapeutics II. xi. 566 The other types, double-tertian, sub-tertian [Ger. die subintrans], and whatever their names may be, occur too seldom to deserve special mention.

1902 Post-graduate 17 1268 The experimental infection of A[nopheles] maculipennis with tertian and subtertian parasites is comparatively easy.

1954 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 6 Feb. 293/2 It has been found that in indigenous East Africans the sickle-cell trait affords a considerable degree of protection against subtertian malaria.

1979 Lancet 23 June 1340/1 In Africa, the common type of malaria is falciparum malaria, previously known as malignant tertian or subtertian malaria.

2003 Trends Parasitol. 19 215/1 The presence [in Classical Greece] of P[lasmodium] falciparum, malignant subtertian malaria, often fatal..also appears reasonable from my own reading of the Hippocratic accounts.

B. n.

Subtertian malaria; spec. falciparum malaria. Now rare.

1958 Central Afr. Jrnl. Med. 4 334/1 Subtertian may sometimes be very difficult to recognise by even the well-practised.
