Question

Are plasmodium is pathogens

Answer 1

YES
The most serious forms of the disease are caused by Plasmodium falciparum andPlasmodium vivax, but other related species (Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodiummalariae) can also infect humans. This group of human-pathogenic Plasmodiumspecies are usually referred to as malaria parasites.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic infection spread by Anopheles mosquitoes. The Plasmodium parasite that causes malaria is neither a virus nor a bacterium – it is a single-celled parasite that multiplies in red blood cells of humans as well as in the mosquito intestine.
