malaria Human malaria is caused by four different species of a parasite belonging to genus Plasmodium: Plasmodium falciparum (the most deadly), Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium ovale.The last two are fairly uncommon. Many animals can get malaria, but human malaria does not spread to animals.alaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium, which is carried by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. When the mosquito bites an infected person, it sucks in the parasites residing in the person's blood.

Malaria status & challenges of the epidemic The numbers of malaria cases and deaths are difficult to determine with accuracy. In 2006, there were an estimated 247 million malaria cases but the real value could be lower than 200 million or over 300 million. That year, an estimated 881 000 people died from malaria (see Table of estimates by region).

Top 10 Infectious Diseases That Have Killed Millions of People Since 1914 to 1977 smallpox killed 300 to 500 million people. By 1970, smallpox still killed 2 million people annually, but OMS managed to eradicate the diseases through vaccination and in the last case was found in Somalia, in 1977. This was possible because smallpox transmits only from human to human. At the time of eradication, no effective cure was known against smallpox.

Mosquitoes and Disease Without question the answer is: the mosquito. Mosquitoes and the diseases they spread have been responsible for killing more people than all the wars in history. Even today, mosquitoes transmitting malaria kill 2 million to 3 million people and infect another 200 million or more every year. Tens of millions more are killed and debilitated by a host of other mosquito-borne diseases, including filariasis, yellow fever, dengue and encephalitis.

About Parasites Parasitic infections cause a tremendous burden of disease in both the tropics and subtropics as well as in more temperate climates. Of all parasitic diseases, malaria causes the most deaths globally. Malaria kills approximately 660,000 people each year, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa.rotozoa that live in the blood or tissue of humans are transmitted to other humans by an arthropod vector (for example, through the bite of a mosquito or sand fly). Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan.
