Malaria

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, as well as P. malariae. The disease is transmitted through the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. Upon transmission of the Plasmodium parasite to a human by the mosquito, the parasite invades the liver. Within 2 weeks, an immature form of the parasite is released into the blood stream where maturation takes place. Red blood cells that are infected then lyse and cause symptoms of the disease.
