A microorganism that can cause disease.

A protist called Plasmodium.

A protist is a type of single-celled eukaryotic organism.

Antibiotics work by damaging the bacteria cells, but not the host cells. This is possible because bacteria have different structures than human cells.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections because they kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.

HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and can be spread through sexual contact or sharing needles.

Human skin is a non-specific defense against pathogens because it acts as a physical barrier to prevent pathogens from entering the body.

A house fly can be a pathogen because it can spread disease by carrying bacteria and viruses on its body.

A disease caused by a protist pathogen that is spread through mosquito bites.

Single-celled eukaryotic organisms, some of which are parasites.

An organism that carries and transmits a pathogen without being affected by it itself.

The process by which a pathogen is transferred from an infected individual to a healthy individual.

Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections, not protist infections.

The rapid multiplication of a protist inside a host's blood cells.

The process of draining stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding grounds.

The process where mosquitoes ingest the malaria protist during a blood meal and it undergoes sexual reproduction inside the mosquito.

A protist pathogen that is spread by a mosquito that can cause malaria.

A living thing that carries a pathogen from one organism to another.

A common symptom of malaria caused by the protist pathogen.

A disease caused by a protist pathogen transmitted by mosquitoes.

Killing off the protist that causes malaria or reducing its ability to reproduce.

The spread of malaria is reduced by reducing mosquito breeding.

They act as carriers of the protist pathogen that causes malaria.
