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.

Anopheles stephensi is a vector of bovine leukemia virus [12] and Plasmodium berghei. [13] Mack and Vandenberg performed a series of experiments 1978-1979 finding that P. berghei derives nutrients from A. stephensi hemolymph during the sporogonic phase. [13] A. stephensi is an important vector for the human malaria species Plasmodium falciparum ...
Laverania is a subgenus of the parasite genus Plasmodium.Infection with these species results in malaria.The subgenus was first described in 1958. [1]The name was first proposed by Welch in 1897 as a genus name for the group now known as Plasmodium but for a variety of reasons the genus name Plasmodium was preferred.
These species are Plasmodium ovale curtisi and Plasmodium ovale wallikeri. [23] These two species separated between 1.0 and 3.5 million years ago. Knowlesi. Plasmodium knowlesi has a natural reservoir in the macaques of Southeast Asia, and was only in 1965 identified as being transmissible to humans. Other species
Plasmodium vivax is a protozoal parasite and a human pathogen.This parasite is the most frequent and widely distributed cause of recurring malaria. [2] Although it is less virulent than Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest of the five human malaria parasites, P. vivax malaria infections can lead to severe disease and death, often due to splenomegaly (a pathologically enlarged spleen).
