Protists are a group of microorganisms that have features that belong to animals, plants and fungi. Some are like animals, others more like plants and some, called moulds are closest to fungi. They are all eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus.
Malaria is spread by mosquitos which carry the Plasmodium protist. These are often found in areas with higher temperatures like Africa, Asia, and South and Central America, but not the UK. Mosquitos **** blood containing the protists.
