Identify protists as the specific biological type of pathogen responsible for causing malaria.
Describe the complex life cycle of the malarial protist, explicitly noting the essential role of the mosquito as a required vector.
Recognise the severe physical symptoms of malaria, heavily featuring recurrent episodes of fever, and understand its high potential to be fatal.
Explain the primary global strategies for actively controlling the spread of malaria, specifically preventing mosquito breeding and utilising mosquito nets to avoid bites entirely.
