Best Answer

malaria is the infectious disease caused by the microorganism Plasmodium, a parasitic protozoan, that is carried in the saliva of the female Anopheles mosquito. When bitten by this mosquito, the microorganism is injected into the victim, where they travel via the circulatory system to the liver where they mature and reproduce.
