Name the causative organism of malaria?

Malaria is caused by 1 of the 5 species of the plasmodium parasite. The five types of mosquitoes responsible for malaria are: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium knowles, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae. The mosquitoes infect humans and within weeks to months they grow and multiply in the body, eventually causing symptoms which can include fever, coma and death.


Would humans and mosquitoes and plasmodium together be considered an biosphere?

A biosphere includes the interactions of a system of different organisms. Humans, mosquitoes and plasmodium could certainly form a biosphere.

What is the host of malaria?

Why does the mosquito spread malaria?

Mosquitoes do not get malaria because malaria is a disease caused in humans by a parasite carried by mosquitoes, Plasmodium spp. When mosquitoes feed off the blood of an infected human, they also absorb the Plasmodium spp parasite. However, the Plasmodium spp. itself is not what causes malaria, and therefore cannot get a mosquito sick. Only when it reacts with the blood in a humans body does it take effect and cause the disease malaria. Mosquitoes then simply act as neutral hosts for the parasite before they land and release the Plasmodium spp. into the next human.

Mosquitoes belonging to the Genus Anopheles.Reptile Aves and Mammals are primary host of plasmodium


How does a mosqito get malaria?

Mosquitoes pick up the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) from the blood of infected people when it bites them, it can then transmit the parasite to other people.


What organism carries disease like malaria?

A microorganism called Plasmodium falciparum (a parasitic protist) causes the most common strand of the disease. There are other variants in Asian and southern American countries that cause similar symptoms and are caused by closely related species of the genus Plasmodium. The parasitic protist infects people through the bite of a mosquito, and therefore the mosquito acts as a vector, carrying the disease without actually causing it. The mosquito species vary in different locations but the relationship is quite specific i.e., each mosquito carries its own strain of Plasmodium. Malaria is caused by the bite of a female mosquito. Female mosquitoes are silent, so they are not easy to spot. When a female mosquito bites an infected person, a little bit of blood is taken, which contains malaria parasites. These parasites will develop in the mosquito, and after about a week or so, when the mosquito bites once more, the person bitten will be injected with the parasites via the mosquitoes saliva. After a while, malaria will start to come, leading to headaches and fever and sometimes coma or death.
