Plasmodium falciparum

Plasmodium Falciparum (P. falciparum) is a species of parasite that is the causative agent of tropical malaria. It is characterized by a 48-hour period of schizogony, that is, the period when the parasite multiplies in human red blood cells. P. falciparum is the most dangerous type of parasite as it can cause serious complications and even death in people who become infected with it.

P. falciparum parasites enter the human body through the bite of a mosquito that is infected with them. Then the parasites enter the human blood and begin to multiply in his red blood cells. Over the course of 48 hours, the parasite goes through several developmental stages, including schizont and merozoite. The parasite destroys human red blood cells, which can lead to anemia and other serious health problems.

To treat tropical malaria, drugs are used that kill parasites in the human blood. These drugs can only be prescribed by a doctor after conducting tests and assessing the patient's health condition. It is important to remember that malaria treatment must be done promptly to avoid serious complications and death.

In conclusion, P. falciparum is a dangerous parasite species that causes tropical malaria. Malaria should be treated promptly to prevent serious complications and death.



Plasmodium falciparium - commonly known as malaria - is a species of parasitic protist of the genus Plasmodia that causes disease in humans as well as animals. These parasites belong to the genus Haemosporidia, which also includes species such as Anopheles. The malaria parasite can infect mammals, including humans and some domestic animals, but is especially dangerous for humans.

Plasmodium is a species of protist from the animal kingdom - it lives in or feeds on the leaves of algae. The parasite colors its cells under the influence of special pigments - hemolysins, which allows it to gain a foothold in the human body through saliva, mosquito bites or other incidents upon contact with carriers.

Malaria is called a “terrible tropical disease”; people most often suffered from the disease in the countries of South Asia and the tropical United States. By the way, there are studies proving that it was the first human carriers of the malaria parasite species that were formed during the development of the disease, since the history of the disease does not accommodate any symmetry. It is not completely known why exactly evolution adapted the human body to this parasite and got stuck
