Plasmodium vivax, responsible for the most prevalent form of malaria (benign tertian), has an incubation period of 8—27 days (14 average). A variety seen in northern and northeastern Europe has an incubation period as long as 8—10 months. The disease can cause splenic mpture and anemia. Relapses (renewed manifestations of erythrocytic infection) can occur with this type of malaria. Overall, P. vivax is stiU susceptible to chloroquine however, resistant strains have been reported from Papua New Guinea and parts of Indonesia. Plasmodium malariae the cause of quartan malaria, has an incubation period of 15—30 days and its asexual cycle is 72 hours. This mildest form of malaria can cause nephritis in addition to the usual symptoms. It is a nonrelapsing type of malaria but the ted blood ceU infection can last for many years. No resistance to chloroquine by this plasmodium has been reported. Plasmodium ovale responsible for ovale tertian malaria, has an incubation period of 9—17 days (15 average). Relapses can occur in people infected with this plasmodium. No chloroquine resistance has been reported for this parasite.

The exploitation of large ore bodies in Chile and Pern has made South America the world s largest producer of copper. The United States is the second largest, followed by Zaire and Zambia, and the CIS. Other important deposits are found in southern Oceania (Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Indonesia), Canada, Mexico, and Poland. 

War front reports are all depressing today. The Nazis claim they have driven to the edge of Stalingrad. At the same time the Japanese have broken through a mountain range in Guinea and are only 44 miles from Port Moresby, keystone of New Guinea defenses.

Lebot and Levesque s 1989 work was based upon an exhaustive collection of plant material. Piper wichmannii was obtained from Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, which comprises its natural range. Piper methysti-cum was collected from cultivated plots on three islands representing Micronesia, eight representing Melanesia, and 24 from Polynesia. In all, more than 240 individual plant acquisitions were subjected to chemical and morphological analysis.

Peninsula, Papua New Guinea (after Edwards et al. 1993). Open elhpses are data for samples collected from outcrop closed elhpses are data for samples collected from drill core. All points plot along the initial 5234 j =150 contom, indicating that all samples have maintained a primary marine uranium isotopic composition, consistent with closed-system behavior. Relatively yonng samples such as these are more likely to satisfy the closed-system assumption whereas older corals snch as those depicted in Figure 13 are not as likely to satisfy this assnmption.
