Protists
, or
protozoa
, are
eukaryotes
Protists
are

Malaria
is a well-known
illness
caused by
protists
and transmitted by
mosquitos
Sleep under a
mosquito
net to prevent
mosquitoes
from
biting humans in their sleep
Sleeping under a
mosquito
net makes it harder for
mosquitoes
to
reach humans
through the net
Using
insecticide
can also be effective in killing
mosquitoes
Symptoms of malaria include:
fever
diarrhoea
muscle

life cycle of malaria:
mosquito carries the malaria but the malaria doesn't affect it
scientists call the mosquito a
vector
because it carries the
pathogen
from one person to another
mosquito bites the human passing the malaria onto them, mosquito does this to et the humans
blood
saliva of the mosquito gets into the human resulting in the human now having it in their blood which then travels down to the
liver
