Malaria Parasites

Overview

Malaria parasites are microorganisms that cause a life-threatening tropical and subtropical disease, malaria. The parasites are transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Once inside the body, the parasites travel to the liver, where they multiply and then infect red blood cells. This can result in symptoms including fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Without treatment, complications such as coma, seizures, and even death can occur. Malaria parasites are considered a major global health issue due to the high rates of infection and fatalities, particularly in developing countries. Modern treatments for malaria include medications, timely diagnosis, and vector control measures. By addressing the malaria parasite, these interventions can help to reduce transmission, mortality and the overall burden of the disease.
