The mosquito bite introduces the parasites from the mosquito’s saliva into a person’s blood. The parasites travel to the liver where they mature and reproduce. The parasites initially multiply in liver but later they enter Red Blood Celle (RBC) causing the rupture of cells. Ruptured RBC releases a toxic substance called hemozoin, which causes chill and fever after every 3-4 days.

P. vivax, P. ov...
