Human malaria is caused by five species of Plasmodia: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae and P. knowlesi. Most infections are due to either P. falciparum or P. vivax, but mixed infections with more than one malarial species also occur. The majority of malaria-related deaths are due to P. falciparum. Generally, the pregnant women are a high risk group, as malaria can be a life threatening infection for both mother and fetus. Risk of stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes is increased in the setting of malaria, and pregnant travelers should be advised to defer travel until after delivery whenever feasible.
恶性疟原虫、间日疟原虫、卵形疟原虫、三日疟原虫和诺氏疟原虫。大多数感染是由恶性疟原虫或间日疟原虫引起的，但也会出现由一种以上疟原虫引起的混合感染。大多数与疟疾相关的死亡是由恶性疟原虫所致。一般来说，孕妇是高危人群，因为疟疾对母亲和胎儿都可能是危及生命的感染。在疟疾流行地区，死产、自然流产和其他不良妊娠结局的风险会增加，应建议怀孕的旅行者在可行的情况下推迟旅行，直到分娩后。
