Staying away from places that have malaria and taking pills to prevent malaria.

One can help reduce the spread of malaria by not allowing favorable conditions in which mosquitoes can breed, hatch and then develop from larvae to adult. Since mosquitoes are the number one carrier of malaria worldwide, preventing the bugs from multiplying would be a safe and effective way to progress in eradication of malaria. Several NGO's have malaria prevention programs in effect.

You can prevent being bitten by mosquitoes by putting bug spray on your body and wear clothes that cover your arms and legs

Getting rid of mosquito breeding grounds, use of mosquito nets, anti-malarial drugs, proper hygiene, bug spray are all proactive methods to reduce risk.

Malaria is a blood Bourne paracite... Spread by Mosquitos... The only way to prevent the spread of malaria, is to kill the Mosquitos that spread it. Medication is available to prevent an infection, but the only way to prevent it completely, is to kill all Mosquitos that carry the paracite. Hences the reason that world super-powers like Bill Gates are involved in programs to Africa to try to lessen the spread of malaria... And one day, stop it.
