Plasmodium, the genus of parasites responsible for malaria, is not mobile in the traditional sense; they do not have a means of locomotion like animals. However, they can move within their host through the bloodstream and are transmitted between hosts via the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. The sporozoite stage, which is injected into the host during a mosquito bite, is the only form that exhibits a form of directed movement, enabling it to travel to the liver. After multiplication in the liver, they are released back into the bloodstream, where they can infect red blood cells.
