A Plasmodium can create up to 4 different types
of malaria.
Plasmodium vivax Plasmodium malariae
Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium falciparum
The Plasmodium parasite uses both
mosquito and humans as a host. They live
inside the mosquito’s salivary glands until
they are transferred into the human system
where they reproduce.
While the Plasmodium causes malaria, doctors use substances such as Quinine and Chloroquine to treat malaria.
