If a malarial parasite lives in human blood what would the parasite's contents be in relation to the blood?

okay I hope this is what you were looking for. 1. the mosquito picks up a parasite (malarial) from a infected person. 2. When the mosquito bites the new person, it transfers the malarial into the new persons blood stream. 3. The parasite develops in the liver releases microorganisms into the blood stream. 4. Malaria microorganisms infect red blood cells. which causes the cells to break apart.
