- Abstract
Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite that lives part of its life in humans and part in mosquitoes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 1,200 cases of malaria are diagnosed each year in the United States. People who live in the United States typically get malaria during trips to malaria-endemic areas of the world. Malaria is caused by a single-celled parasite from the genus Plasmodium. More than 100 different species of Plasmodium exist they are Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum. The human malaria parasite has a complex life cycle that requires both a human host and an insect host. In Anopheles mosquitoes, Plasmodium reproduces sexually (by merging the parasite's sex cells). In people, the parasite reproduces asexually (by cell division), first in liver cells and then, repeatedly, in red blood cells (RBCs).
