People with at least one gene for sickle-cell disease are resistant to it.
The standard treatment for this disease uses a drug which may act by generating high-valent iron in this disease's pathogen from a porphyrin derivative. That drug is artemisinin. Some species of this disease's pathogen, such as vivax, can remain dormant in the liver in hypnozoite form, others such as P. falciparum cannot. Its pathogen sequesters insoluble hemozoin; the conversion of hemozoin back to heme is the mechanism by means of which cinchona derivatives like quinine act to combat this disease. People with at least one gene for sickle-cell disease are resistant to it. For 10 points, name this disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito.
