Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. Usually, people get malaria by being bitten by an infective female Anopheles mosquito.alaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes.

Malaria is a major world health problem. It results from infection of parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause the major human malarias, with P falciparum being the more virulent. During their blood stages of infection, both P falciparum and P vivax induce anemia.Severe malarial anemia caused by P falciparum is responsible for approximately a third of the deaths associated with disease. strength of the model is that it mimics human malaria anemia where low parasitemias are seen concomitant with severe anemia through the duration of infection. The disadvantage is that the time needed to generate semi-immune mice requires 5 or more months with constant injections of parasites and drug combinations.
