A microorganism called Plasmodium falciparum (a parasitic protist) causes the most common strand of the disease. There are other variants in Asian and southern American countries that cause similar symptoms and are caused by closely related species of the genus Plasmodium.
The parasitic protist infects people through the bite of a mosquito, and therefore the mosquito acts as a vector, carrying the disease without actually causing it. The mosquito species vary in different locations but the relationship is quite specific i.e., each mosquito carries its own strain of Plasmodium.
malaria is caused by the bite of a female mosquito. Female mosquitoes are silent, so they are not easy to spot. When a female mosquito bites an infected person, a little bit of blood is taken, which contains malaria parasites. These parasites will develop in the mosquito, and after about a week or so, when the mosquito bites once more, the person bitten will be injected with the parasites via the mosquitoes saliva. After a while, malaria will start to come, leading to headaches and fever and sometimes coma or death.
Malaria is caused by 1 of the 5 species of the plasmodium parasite. The five types of mosquitoes responsible for malaria are: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium knowles, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae. The mosquitoes infect humans by bites and withing weeks to months, the grow and multiply in the body, eventually causing symptoms which can include fever, coma and death.
A vector is an organism, typically an insect or rodent, that can carry and transmit disease-causing agents such as viruses or bacteria into a host cell. Vectors play a crucial role in the transmission of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease.
Vectors are living organisms that can transmit disease to humans. They can carry pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites, and introduce them to humans through bites or contact. Common vectors include mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, which can spread diseases like malaria, dengue fever, Lyme disease, and bubonic plague. Vector control is an important strategy in preventing the spread of these diseases.
The pathognomonic sign of malaria is stepladder like fever with chills. Some symptoms of malaria are chills, headache, fatigue and muscle-aches.

A mosquito carries round the disease and spreads it from person to person. The vector (carrier/mosquito) is called the Abopheles mosquito. It is mainly found in hot countries and carries a protozoan parasite called Plasmodium, so malaria is only found where the mosquito is found.
i know that protozoa causes some sickness like malaria but what are the economic importance of this organism.
Cats can get malaria; however, it is not the same organism that affects humans. The organism in cats get into the white blood cells and multiply. The white blood cells get very large and block the capillaries. It is a very rapidly progressing disease and 99% fatal. The cat usually dies due to oxygen starvation to the brain before a diagnosis can be made.
Sickle Cell Anemia
The sporozoan Plasmodium causes malaria, a potentially life-threatening disease transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It infects red blood cells and can lead to symptoms such as fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms. If left untreated, malaria can be fatal.
Protozoans
Malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and certain digestive ailments like gastroenteritis.
