Difference between Antimalarial medication and Plasmodium

Antimalarial medication vs. Plasmodium

Antimalarial medications, also known as antimalarials, are designed to prevent or cure malaria. Plasmodium is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes that are obligate parasites of vertebrates and insects.

Similarities between Antimalarial medication and Plasmodium

Antimalarial medication and Plasmodium have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apicomplexan life cycle, Artemisinin, Atovaquone, Chloroquine, Gamete, Gametocyte, Heme, Hemozoin, Malaria, Mefloquine, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium vivax, Proguanil, Quinine, Sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine.

Apicomplexan life cycle

Apicomplexans, a group of intracellular parasites, have life cycle stages evolved to allow them to survive the wide variety of environments they are exposed to during their complex life cycle.
