Step-by-step solution

Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for malignant malaria, the most serious form of malaria. Plasmodium enters the human body as merozoites through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The rupture of red blood cells (RBCs) during malaria releases haemozoin, causing chills and high fever. The malarial parasite completes its life cycle in only one host: the human. The female Anopheles mosquito acts as both the vector and a host for the malarial parasite.
