Abstract

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infection caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. Humans are commonly infected by four species of the parasite: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. On rare occasions, certain species of Plasmodium that usually have simian hosts also infect humans.
