  abstract = {{F}rom which host did the most malignant human malaria come: birds, primates, or rodents? {W}hen did the transfer occur? {O}ver the last half century, these have been some of the questions up for debate about the origin of {P}lasmodium falciparum, the most common and deadliest human malaria parasite, which is responsible for at least one million deaths every year. {R}ecent findings bring elements in favor of a transfer from great apes, but are these evidences really solid? {W}hat are the grey areas that remain to be clarified? {H}ere, we examine in depth these new elements and discuss how they modify our perception of the origin and evolution of {P}. falciparum. {W}e also discuss the perspectives these new discoveries open.},
