Le paludisme est dû à 4 espèces différentes (Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax) mais seul P. falciparum est responsable des formes encéphaliques potentiellement mortelles. Classiquement P. falciparum provoque la fièvre tierce maligne, P. ovale et P. vivax provoquent la fièvre tierce bénigne, enfin P. malariae provoque la fièvre quarte.
