Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a type of unicellular microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. Commonly the disease is transmitted by a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito which introduces the organisms from its saliva into a person’s circulatory system. In the blood the parasites travel to the liver to mature and reproduce.
