We use stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to model the spread  of the malaria parasite through a compartmental model of the type  Considering the transmission rates  and  by introducing standard Brownian motion in order to render the ordinary differential equation into SDE, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution.

Plasmodium falciparum,  model, stochastic differential equations.
