Because the newly formed blood vessels are leaky and tortuous, pericytes are important to protect the fragile vessels [1]. Based on reports that the connective tissue vascular fraction of fat tissue contains stem cells that give rise to pericytes -- cells surrounding small blood vessels -- researchers led by Albert D.
Malaria parasites belong to the genus Plasmodium (phylum Apicomplexa). In humans, malaria is caused by P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax and P. knowlesi. Among those infected, P. falciparum is the most common species identified (~75%) followed by P. vivax (~20%).n humans, malaria is caused by P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax and P. knowlesi.

Classification of Parasites. Living organisms are classified using the Linnaean hierarchical scheme-in order of decreasing generality, the groupings are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and finally species.The classification of Protozoa (one-celled organisms) is not as well established, and we list their main phyla here.lassification of Parasites.
