Parent topics
- Indigenous knowledge [r]: Local-level accumulated knowledge that does not originate in academic or corporate research institutions, inherited in situ through tradition and culture. [e]
- Infectious disease [r]: In broad terms, diseases caused by living organisms; also a subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with the treatment of such diseases [e]
- Protozoa [r]: A subkingdom consisting of unicellular organisms that are the simplest in the animal kingdom. Most are free living. They range in size from submicroscopic to macroscopic. Protozoa are divided into seven phyla: Sarcomastigophora, Labyrinthomorpha, Apicomplexia, Microspora, Ascetospora, Myxozoa, and Ciliophora. [e]

- Plasmodium vivax [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Plasmodium ovale [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Plasmodium malariae [r]: Add brief definition or description
Life cycle
- Schizont [r]: Among protozoa, multinucleate cells or a stage in the development of sporozoa,exemplified by the life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum in the disease cycle of malaria. [e]
- Merozoite [r]: Add brief definition or description

Prevention
- Vector (epidemiology) [r]: The means by which a cause of morbidity or mortality propagates, such as insects, contaminated water, etc. [e]
- Mosquito (insect) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- DDT [r]: An organochlorine pesticide that is very effective at killing mosquitoes and was used effectively in the fight against malaria. [e]

- Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net [r]: Add brief definition or description
Treatment
- Artemisinin [r]: An extract from the Chinese herb qinghaosu and its semisynthetic derivatives, the most important drugs used worldwide against malaria; drug resistance is an increasing problem [e]
