All Plasmodium species are parasitic and must pass between a vertebrate host and an insect host to complete their life cycles. Different species of Plasmodium display different host ranges, with some species restricted to a single vertebrate and insect host, while other species can infect several species of vertebrates and/or insects.
The female mosquito of the genus Anopheles may carry the malaria parasite.Five different species of Plasmodium cause malaria in humans: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium knowlesi and Plasmodium vivax [7] (see Plasmodium).
The genome of Plasmodium falciparum was sequenced and published in the year 2002. [342] A species of malaria plasmodium tends to have rather polymorphic antigens which can serve as immune system targets. Some searches of P. falciparum genes for hotspots of encoded variations found sections of genes that when tested proved to encode for antigens.
This species was discovered in 1967 in Texas and formally named in 1980. [2] It was rediscovered again in North America in 2016. [3] This species is a member of the subgenus Vinckeia of the genus Plasmodium. The genus Plasmodium is most closely related to Polychromophilus. The relation between these genera is under debate at present and a ...
Most counties in Texas have reported kissing bug sightings. KXAS reports the rise in infections is more likely due to the growth of suburbs on land where the bugs are, instead of a greater number ...

Quartan fever is one of the four types of malaria which can be contracted by humans. [1] It is specifically caused by the Plasmodium malariae species, one of the six species of the protozoan genus Plasmodium. Quartan fever is a form of malaria where an onset of fever occurs in an interval of three to four days, hence the name "quartan". [2]
