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.
