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 deadliest of five human malaria species and responsible for the majority of malaria related deaths. There are around 300 million clinical cases occur each year resulting in at least one million deaths annually, predominantly in sub-saharan Africa. An estimated 3,000 children, under the age of five, fall victim to malaria each day and around 40% of the worlds population are at risk of infection. The canonical reference P. falciparum clone 3D7 was first published by Gardner et al. in 2002. The nuclear genome was described as 22.9 Mb and essentially complete, with 14 chromosomes, a G+C content of approximately 19%, 5268 genes and approximately 80 gaps.
