Discover the cause of human malignant tertian malaria, the most severe type of malaria, when you explore this slide. The blood smear shows numerous red blood cells infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Once infected, people experience severe fevers and chills, blood vessel blockages, and even death. These parasitic protozoans enter the human blood stream by way of Anopheles mosquitoes.
