Describe how malaria parasites causes illnesses?
When the infected anopheles mosquito bite the uninfected host, it transmits the the malaria parasite in the blood of the host. This parasite soon enters the liver. They multiply there. When the liver cell burst, the parasites enter the red blood cells. There again they multiply. Then the red blood cells burst, the parasites are liberated. They invade the fresh red blood cells. This process go on repeating. Every time the parasites are liberated from the red blood cells, you get bouts of fever with chills. When the mosquito bites the patient, it sucks the parasites. They travel to the salivary gland of the mosquito to give infection to new hosts.
