Which of the protozoa is the causative agent of malaria?

Answer: Plasmodium. Four types of them are dangerous to humans. They live in the body of a mosquito, and at the time of a human bite, plasmodia enter the bloodstream, then into the liver, and then back into the bloodstream and attach to red blood cells, causing an increase in body temperature, anemia, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and in some cases death. for example, in children and pregnant women. But currently, drugs have been found to which Plasmodium is sensitive and malaria is curable.
