Difference between History of malaria and Parasitism

History of malaria vs. Parasitism

The history of malaria stretches from its prehistoric origin as a zoonotic disease in the primates of Africa through to the 21st century. In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.
