The Anopheles mosquito is the vector that transmits the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax into the bloodstream. When an infected mosquito bites a person, it injects the parasite into the bloodstream, where it multiplies and causes malaria.
Humans, mosquitoes, and Plasmodium together would be considered a host-pathogen-vector system for malaria transmission. Mosquitoes act as vectors by transmitting the Plasmodium parasite from one host (humans) to another through their bites. Plasmodium is the causative agent of malaria, a disease that affects humans.
Plasmodium vivax moves with the help of vector mosquitoes, specifically Anopheles mosquitoes, which transmit the parasite to humans through their bites. Once inside the human host, the parasite infects red blood cells and causes malaria.
Plasmodium is a unicellular parasite that causes malaria in humans. It goes through multiple stages of its life cycle in both the mosquito vector and human host, but at its core, it is a single-celled organism.
Plasmodium is a sporozoan that causes Malaria.
