Human malaria is caused by one or more of four parasites: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. Distribution of these parasites varies geographically, and not all species of malaria are transmitted in all malarious areas. P. falciparum, the species most commonly associated with fatal malaria, is transmitted at some level in nearly all areas where malaria occurs. It accounts for over 90 percent of all malaria infections in sub-Saharan Africa, for nearly 100 percent of infections in Haiti, and causes two-thirds or more of the malaria cases in Southeast Asia. P. vivax is a relatively uncommon infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Duffy antigens, which are required by the parasite to invade red blood cells, are lacking in many ethnic groups, especially in West Africa. Vivax malaria, however, is the predominant species in Central America, most of malarious South America, and the Indian subcontinent
