June 5, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

QUESTION What is the classification of malaria? ANSWER Malaria is caused by a single celled protist of the genus Plasmodium. This genus is part of a Phylum of single-celled protist organisms called Apicomplexa. The Apicomplexans mostly posses an organ called an apicoplast, which is part of an apical structure designed to aid entry into a host cell. The Apicomplexa is split into two … [Read more...]

Structure and Size of Malaria

May 26, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

It undergoes a complex life cycle, involving two separate asexual reproductive stages in the vertebrate host (including humans) and sexual reproduction as well as multiplication in the insect vector (all human malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes). As such, the … [Read more...]
