Plasmodium is a genus of parasitic protozoa that causes malaria. The four species known to cause malaria in humans are: Plasmodium falciparum : P. falcatum, predominant in Africa, produces the most severe symptoms and is responsible for most malaria deaths. Plasmodium vivax : P. vivax, found mostly in tropical areas of Asia, produces less severe symptoms but can remain in the liver and cause relapses for up to three years.
Malaria is a major world health problem. It results from infection of parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause the major human malarias, with P falciparum being the more virulent. During their blood stages of infection, both P falciparum and P vivax induce anemia.Severe malarial anemia caused by P falciparum is responsible for approximately a third of the deaths associated with disease. strength of the model is that it mimics human malaria anemia where low parasitemias are seen concomitant with severe anemia through the duration of infection. The disadvantage is that the time needed to generate semi-immune mice requires 5 or more months with constant injections of parasites and drug combinations.
