Malaria remains a major infectious disease in many parts of the world, currently accounting for an estimated 5 billion clinical episodes and up to 3 million deaths annually. The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is a single-celled microorganism that invades human erythrocytes. The parasite has many developmental stages and is perfectly adapted to live in the human vertebrate.

疟疾仍然是世界许多地区的一种主要传染病，目前每年造成约50亿次临床发作和多达300万人死亡。人类疟疾寄生虫恶性疟原虫是一种入侵人类红细胞的单细胞微生物。这种寄生虫有许多发育阶段，非常适合在人类脊椎动物中生活。
