Cause. Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium. Human malaria is caused by four different species of Plasmodium: P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. vivax. Humans occasionally become infected with Plasmodium species that normally infect animals, such as P. knowlesi.
Some fungi cause disease when they become human parasites. Two examples are fungi in the genera Candida and Trichophyton. 1  Candida are yeast that cause candidiasis, commonly called a âyeast infection.â The yeast can infect the mouth or the vagina (in females). Protozoa make humans sick when they become human parasites. 2  Trypanosoma protozoa cause Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. 3  Giardia protozoa cause giardiasis, and Plasmodium protozoa cause malaria. 4  Fungi cause three different types of human illness: poisonings, parasitic infections, and allergies.
