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.
Parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause malaria. Although there are many species of Plasmodium, only five infect humans and cause malaria. P. falciparum: found in tropical and subtropical areas; major contributor to deaths from severe malaria. P. vivax: found in Asia and Latin America; has a dormant stage that can cause relapses. P. ovale: found in Africa and the Pacific islands. P. malariae: worldwide; can cause a chronic infection.
