- 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]
