PPT-PPT ON PLASMODIUM VIVAX ( MALARIAL PARASITE)

Plasmodium malaria Plasmodium malariae  is a  parasitic   protozoa  that causes  malaria  in humans It is one of several species of  Plasmodium  parasites that infect humans including . “A parasite is an organism that spends a significant portion of its life in or on the living tissue of a host organism and which causes harm to the host without immediately killing it.” (Source: .
