What’s the name of a sporophyte that causes malaria?

Plasmodium
Plasmodium vivax
Plasmodium falciparum
Plamodium malariae
(not sure of spelling)

are u sure its sporophyte?? because sporophyte is related to the asexual reprouction in plants.

But there are sporozoites.

Here’s an AWSOME video to see the infection. You will understand everything.

So the infection occurs through a protozoal parasite from the Plasmodium genus (mainly P.falciparum, P.vivax, P.ovale, and P.malariae). The Plasmodium species, with the exception of P.malariae (which may affect the higher primates) are exclusively parasites of man.

So during infection The spozozoites from the mosquito salivary gland are injected into the human as the mosquito must inject anticoagulant saliva to ensure an even flowing meal. Once in the human bloodstream, the sporozoites arrive in the liver and penetrate hepatocytes, where they remain for 9-16 days, multiplying within the cells. Next they return to the blood and penetrate red blood cells, in which they produce either merozoites, which reinfect the liver, or micro- and macrogametocytes, which have no further activity within the human host. Another mosquito arriving to feed on the blood may **** up these gametocytes into its gut, where exflagellation of microgametocytes occurs, and the macrogametocytes are fertilized. The resulting ookinete penetrates the wall of a cell in the midgut, where it develops into an oocyst. Sporogeny within the oocyst produce many sporozoites and, when the oocyst ruptures, the sporozoites migrate to the salivary gland, for injection into another host.

So therefore sporozoites are made by this protozoan microbe that belongs to the Plasmodium genus.

Also viruses do not cause malaria. A protozoan does.
