malaria is caused by protozoa - Plasmodium species. There are at least four malarial parasites; P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malaria and P. falciparum.
P. falciparum can invade red blood cells of all ages, may also be drug-resistant and is responsible for most severe and acute life-threatening malignant tertian malaria with highest mortality.
Plasmodium, in form of sporozoites, travels in blood to the liver and spleen, where it reproduces and infects red blood cells.
