Abstract
Malaria is a disease caused by four parasites: Plasmodium falciparum, P vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae. Each of them has its own morphological signs, period of incubation, clinical picture and sensitivity to medical drugs. (Meuleman, 1989). All the parasites are transmitted by different species of the female Anopheles mosquito (Zahar, 1984).
Communication presented at the 8th GIRI Meeting, December 1994, Jerusalem, Israel.
