Malaria is a major public health threat among the population across the world especially tropical and sub-tropical regions. It is caused by the infection of Plasmodium spp. present in the mid gut of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Approximately, only 1% of malaria infections are fatal but more than 0.4 million people die per year, predominantly young children. It is therefore important to consider why a subset of infected people develops severe syndromes and some of them die and what separates these cases from the rest that recovers. Below, in our understanding of malaria pathogenesis, we discuss advances made over the past decade, concentrating on the fatal human disease caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
