Plasmodium is a human parasite, that causes malaria. Plasmodium establishes its complex life cycle in blood cells and liver cells. Mosquitos serve as a vector to spread the parasite from one person to other through biting.
Humans, mosquitoes, and Plasmodium together would be considered a host-pathogen-vector system for malaria transmission. Mosquitoes act as vectors by transmitting the Plasmodium parasite from one host (humans) to another through their bites. Plasmodium is the causative agent of malaria, a disease that affects humans.
Plasmodium vivax, the protist that causes Malaria, is a sprozoan, which is a type of protist that doesn't move on its own, is parasitic by penetrating then living inside of its host, and it can have more than one host at a time.
The second stage of Plasmodium is called the sporozoite stage. Sporozoites are the form of the parasite that are injected into the human host when an infected mosquito bites.
Round worms are heterotrophic, obtaining their nutrition by feeding on organic matter in their environment. Plasmodium is a parasitic protist that obtains its nutrition by feeding on the blood of its host organism.
A Plasmodium parasite primarily lives in the red blood cells of its host, usually a human. It undergoes stages of development both within the human and the female Anopheles mosquito.
Mosquitoes belonging to the Genus Anopheles.Reptile Aves and Mammals are primary host of plasmodium

Endoparasites: Live inside the host eg. Plasmodium, Tapeworm, Roundworms, Bot fly ect.
No, Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, does not have flagella. It has a specialized organelle called the apical complex, which helps it invade host cells.
Plasmodium causes an infection known as malaria, which is common in parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Plasmodium always has two host in its life cycle, the mosquito vector and the veretbrate host. Now Malaria can actually lead to cancer, but this is with the combination of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that it leads to a type of cancer called Burkitt's lymphoma which occurs in children in Sub-Saharan Africa.
