The parasites invade the red blood cells. They can also invade the walls of the blood vessels as well as the liver.
No the parasites have no cilia.
No, they do not! The evidence shows that malaria parasites that infect lizards have two kinds of ribosomes and malaria parasites that infect lizards have only one.

malaria
Anopheles mosquito carries the parasite of malaria. When they bite human beings these parasites enter into their body cause malaria.
A person gets malaria from the bite of an infected female mosquito. The mosquito bite injects young forms of the malaria parasite into the person's blood. The parasites travel through the person's bloodstream to the liver, where they grow to their next stage of development. In 6 to 9 days, the parasites leave the liver and enter the bloodstream again. They invade the red blood cells, finish growing, and begin to multiply quickly. The number of parasites increases until the red blood cells burst, releasing thousands of parasites into the person's bloodstream. The parasites attack other red blood cells, and the cycle of infection continues, causing the common signs and symptoms of malaria. When a non-infected mosquito bites an infected person, the mosquito sucks up parasites from the person's blood. The mosquito is then infected with the malaria parasites. The parasites go through several stages of growth in the mosquito. When the mosquito bites someone else, that person will become infected with malaria parasites, and the cycle will begin again. Malaria parasites can also be transmitted by transfusion of blood from an infected person or by the use of needles or syringes contaminated with the blood of an infected person.
Malaria parasites become resistant to drugs used to treat them. Also the mosquitoes which carry the parasites also become resistant to insecticide drugs which are used to kill them. This process is occurring in malaria hotspots worldwide.
The parasites enter the body by way of a cut or via the eyes or mouth
The Giemsa stain is used in the diagnosis of malaria by staining the parasites in a blood sample, making them visible under a microscope. This helps healthcare providers identify the presence of malaria parasites in the blood, aiding in the accurate diagnosis of the disease.
There are 4 different parasites that cause malaria, but all of them are in the Plasmodium family.Plasmodium falciparumPlasmodium vivaxPlasmodium ovalePlasmodium malariaeEach one of them causes malaria, but the symptoms are slightly different.
