Malaria Pathogenesis

Malaria pathogenesis involves the parasite invading red blood cells, leading to their destruction and causing symptoms such as fever, chills, and anemia. The severity depends on the Plasmodium species, with P. falciparum causing the most severe disease due to its ability to infect all red blood cell stages and cause vascular blockage.
