Towing capacity, sometimes called maximum towing capacity, is the maximum allowable weight that a vehicle can tow. Towing capacity is specified by the vÂ­ehicle manufacturer and can usually be found in the ownerâs manual. Some towing hitchesâ towing capacity exceeds that of certain cars and trucks, but that is because hitches can often fit on many different types of tow vehicles.
Plasmodium, commonly known as the malaria parasite, is a large genus of parasitic protozoa. As with some other genera of clinically important microorganisms, the genus name also yields a common noun; thus species of the genus are known as plasmodia.he parasite is thought to have originated from Dinoflagellates, photosynthetic protozoa. The most common forms of human malaria are caused by Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. knowlesi, and P. malariae. P. falciparum, common in sub-Saharan Africa, and P. knowlesi, common in Southeast Asia, are especially dangerous.
There are 200 known species of Plasmodium, of which at least 11 species infect humans, while others infect other animals including reptiles, birds, rodents, and monkeys. The Plasmodium parasite has a two host life cycle: a vector â typically a mosquito, but sandflies are also a possibility â and a vertebrate host.
