What happens during the disease - malaria due to simian plasmodia
Malaria due to simian plasmodia is caused by the protozoan parasite plasmodium simium, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected anopheles mosquito. the parasite enters the human bloodstream and travels to the liver, where it multiplies and then invades red blood cells. once inside the red blood cells, the parasites reproduce and cause the cells to burst, releasing more parasites into the blood stream and causing the characteristic symptoms of malaria, such as fever, chills, and anemia.
