Unresolved direction of host transfer of Plasmodium vivax v. P. simium and P. malariae v. P. brasilianum.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2011

Tazi Loubna, Ayala Francisco J

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary history of two human malaria parasites, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium malariae, remains unresolved. The near genetic identity between human P. vivax and P. malariae, and primate P. simium and P. brasilianum, respectively, suggests that recent host transfers occurred, but questions remain, such as whether the transfer was from humans to New World monkeys or vice versa, and when the transfers...
