Malaria disease is caused by :

  • A.Protozoa
  • B.Bacteria
  • C.Virus
  • D.Fungus

Answer: A

Malaria is caused by protozoa.

Malaria is caused by single-celled protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium (chiefly P. falciparum and P. vivax). The parasites are transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, causing the cycles of fever and chills.

Bacteria cause diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera, viruses cause dengue and influenza, and fungi cause ringworm. None of them causes malaria.
