plasmodium

You get malaria if you live in areas where some species of mosquitos carry the malaria plasmodium.

For separating blood to get a concentration of plasmodium cells for quicker identification/diagnosis it should be enough?

There's a practically endless list of better hypotheses than Plasmodium suddenly completely breaking it's normal patterns.

It's an open question if the parasite (plasmodium) causes the infection because of a virus.

The plasmodium matures into a network of interconnected filaments, which slowly moves as a unit as its protoplasm streams along the network.

That paper just reports the discovery of a virus that is a parasite of the plasmodium parasite that causes malaria in humans.

An actual diagnostic would involve taking a small blood sample, smearing on a slide and looking for malaria plasmodium under a microscope.

Take malaria, for example -- do you think malaria victims experience spontaneous recurrences, far from the anopheles mosquito and its hitchhiker, plasmodium falciparum?

Coli nor the malaria plasmodium are viruses, which I'm sure is the ignorance of the author rather the the artist.

I’m pretty sure the human hosts are a vital step in the Plasmodium lifecycle.

Duffy-negative individuals lack the receptor used by the Plasmodium vivax malarial parasite to invade red blood cells, a deficit that confers malaria resistance on its bearer.

Variola major, for example, or Plasmodium malariae.

This mass is referred to as a plasmodium and is frequently observed as threads of "slime" on rotting wood.

"case of severe malaria in the form of a respiratory illness" Does Plasmodium do that?

Also, China and Korea are lucky in that the prevailing form of malaria is Plasmodium vivax -- which actually used to be called "benign tertian malaria." In terms of death rate, it's about as benign as the flu.

The article incorrectly refers to the malaria parasite having "learnt" (a better choice of words would be "been naturally selected for") adaptations to escape host animal immune systems,[1] and that is why it is not easy to develop vaccines for the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria.

Plasmodium and all its relatives have become parasites a very long time ago, causing a variety of diseases in many animals.

And it should be a first foothold in terms of making immunologic progress against Plasmodium.

It's true that diseases are often caused by those things, but in this particular case malaria is caused by the /Plasmodium/ organism and transmitted via infected mosquitoes.
