From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Malaria parasite \Malaria parasite\
      Any of several minute protozoans of the genus {Plasmodium}
      (syn. {H[91]matozo[94]n}) which in their adult condition live
      in the tissues of mosquitoes of the genus {Anopheles} (which
      see) and when transferred to the blood of man, by the bite of
      the mosquito, produce malaria.
  
      Note: The young parasites, or sporozoites, enter the red
               blood corpuscles, growing at their expense, undergoing
               sporulation, and finally destroying the corpuscles,
               thus liberating in the blood plasma an immense number
               of small spores called merozoites. An indefinite but
               not ultimated number of such generations may follow,
               but if meanwhile the host is bitten by a mosquito, the
               parasites develop into gametes in the stomach of the
               insect. These conjugate, the zygote thus produced
               divides, forming spores, and eventually sporozoites,
               which, penetrating to the salivary glands of the
               mosquito, may be introduced into a new host. The
               attacks of the disease coincide with the dissolution of
               the corpuscles and liberation of the spores and
               products of growth of the parasites into the blood
               plasma. Several species of the parasite are
               distinguished, as {P. vivax}, producing tertian
               malaria; {P. malari[91]}, quartan malaria; and {P.
               (subgenus Laverania) falciferum}, the malarial fever of
               summer and autumn common in the tropics.
