Explanation

Malaria is a parasitic infection that primarily affects the spleen, causing splenomegaly (enlarged spleen). The Plasmodium parasite infects and destroys red blood cells. The spleen works overtime to filter these damaged cells, leading to its characteristic enlargement. The heart, lungs, and kidneys are not the primary target organs.
