GCSE Malaria

Hi, just wondering if we need to know the whole life cycle of malaria for AQA GCSE Bio Higher because my teacher taught us it but I don't know if we need to know all the stuff with the different scientific names or if it's just like 'the mosquito acts as a vector'. Cheers!

Hi, I have checked the spec, although it doesn't specify if we need to know it or not. However, when I checked some biology youtube channels like freesciencelessons, they have included the life cycle of the malaria pathogen. So maybe just make sure you know or understand it. Hope that helped and good luck with exams!
