THere are 3:

  1. Plasmodium vivax/ovale: you get tertian (48 hour cycle) fevers, and this one can stay dormant in your liver so you need to treat it with primaquine to kill it there also on top of chloroquine.
  2. Plasmodium falciparum: The most common and the worst one to get. Severe, daily fever cycles. The RBC's c the parasites can occlude capillaries in the brain = cerebral malaria, kidneys, and lungs.
  3. Plasmodium malariae: Quartan (72 hour) cyclic fever, headache, anemia, splenomegaly.

You ID these on blood smear and the vector is a mosquito.
