The natural transmission of malaria depends on the presence and relationship between the three basic epidemiological factors: the agent, the host, and the environment. While the malaria parasite is the true infectious agent, the female Anopheles mosquito is the transmitting agent. The environment is viewed from three aspects; physical, biological and socioeconomic. There are four types of parasites of human malaria, Plasmodium vivax, falciparum, malariae and oval. In India, 60-65% of infections are caused by P. vivax and 35-40% by P. falciparum. Only a few cases of P. malariae have been reported in Odisha and Karnataka. Among P. falciparum blood stage antigens, there is a great diversity both between geographical areas and in the same area. In a single infection, antigenic variations of P. falciparum were detected, indicating a high diversity rate in the same strain. Virulence is expressed as the severity of an acute disease in non-immune individuals. Virulence is very different between the species.
