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.
Plasmodium falciparum is the type of malaria that most often causes severe and life-threatening malaria; this parasite is very common in many countries in Africa south of the Sahara desert. People who are heavily exposed to the bites of mosquitoes infected with P. falciparum are most at risk of dying from malaria.
