To confirm that plasmodium is the cause and not just a stowaway in insect bites that have other toxins in them, we would need to have a pure sample of plasmodium and inject that into healthy hosts, and inject the same fluid the plasmodium is in without the plasmodium itself into hosts and see if the hosts get malaria.

It is possible I just don't know about this study, but to prove your point can you find a study like that and send it to us in this comment section?
