Epidemiology
Malaria (Mal for short) is caused by Plasmodium, which is a single-celled eukaryotic organism, including Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae Laveran, and Plasmodium ovale Stephens. It is a mosquito-borne and blood-borne parasitic disease that seriously endangers human health. Of the parasites that cause malaria in humans, Plasmodium falciparum is the deadliest and is most common in sub-Saharan Africa and causes most malaria deaths globally. Plasmodium vivax is the predominant malaria parasite in most countries outside sub-Saharan Africa.
