Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite can be spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.

There are many different types of plasmodium parasite, but only 5 types cause malaria in humans.

These are:

Plasmodium falciparum – mainly found in Africa, it's the most common type of malaria parasite and is responsible for most malaria deaths worldwidePlasmodium vivax – mainly found in Asia and South America, this parasite causes milder symptoms than Plasmodium falciparum, but it can stay in the liver for up to 3 years, which can result in relapsesPlasmodium ovale – fairly uncommon and usually found in West Africa, it can rema in in your liver for several years without producing symptomsPlasmodium malariae – this is quite rare and usually only found in AfricaPlasmodium knowlesi – this is very rare and found in parts of southeast Asia
