African apes as reservoirs of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> and the origin and diversification of the <i>Laverania</i> subgenus

24 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

We investigated two mitochondrial genes (cytb and cox1), one plastid gene (tufA), and one nuclear gene (ldh) in blood samples from 12 chimpanzees and two gorillas from Cameroon and one lemur from Madagascar. One gorilla sample is related to Plasmodium falciparum, thus confirming the recently reported presence in gorillas of this parasite. The second gorilla sample is more similar to the recently defined...
