In Africa, the primary types of malaria are caused by the Plasmodium parasites, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most prevalent and deadly. Plasmodium vivax is also present but less common in sub-Saharan Africa, as it tends to be more prevalent in Asia and South America. Additionally, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae exist in Africa, but they are rare compared to P. falciparum. Overall, P. falciparum remains the most significant concern due to its severity and widespread occurrence.
