The statement that Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the plasmodium parasite is true. The Plasmodium parasite that causes malaria is neither a virus nor a bacterium - it is a single-celled parasite. This parasite multiplies in red blood cells of humans . If a mosquito infected with the Plasmodium parasite bites a person the acute febrile illness malaria can occur.
