settle a disagreement. Is it
a pathogen, Plasmodium vivax (my choice), carried by a mosquito, or all of these mentioned?
I look more at it as a trick question.

Plasmodium falciparum, the main cause of human malaria. This landmark achievement is accompanied by the complete sequence of Plasmodium yoelii, the infectious agent in rodent malaria are the organisms that directly cause malaria.
Anopheles gambiae is the mosquito that sucks plasmodium from the blood of one infected individual and then transfers (vectors) it to the blood of another individual when the mosquito injects its infected salivia during the bite into the blood of its victurm. yick.

Well, any organism that causes a disease is a pathogen. Plasmodium vivax causes malaria, and it is transmitted by mosquitos. So, I'm guessing all of these are correct.

I believe the thing that carries the pathogen is called the 'vector.' So fleas and rats, for example, are vectors for the bubonic plague.
Anyway, the very thing itself that causes the disease is of course the plasmodium pathogen. The pathogen could still theoretically be transmitted by vectors other than mosquitos (I'm sure it is transmitted by other types of blood-carrying insects). The mosquito is really not cause in itself. It could only be so if _everyone_ who got bit by a mosquito got malaria, which of course they don't because many mosquitos do not carry plasmodium.
