What causes Malaria?

(N/A) Malaria is caused by a tiny protozoan known as $Plasmodium$.
Different species of $Plasmodium$,such as $Plasmodium$ $vivax$,$Plasmodium$ $malariae$,and $Plasmodium$ $falciparum$,are responsible for different types of malaria.
Malignant malaria,caused by $Plasmodium$ $falciparum$,is the most serious form and can even be fatal.
