  abstract = {{R}ecent studies of captive and wild-living apes in {A}frica have uncovered evidence of numerous new {P}lasmodium species, one of which was identified as the immediate precursor of human {P}lasmodium falciparum. {T}hese findings raise the question whether wild apes could be a recurrent source of {P}lasmodium infections in humans. {T}his question is not new, but was the subject of intense investigation by researchers in the first half of the last century. {R}e-examination of their work in the context of recent molecular findings provides a new framework to understand the diversity of {P}lasmodium species and to assess the risk of future cross-species transmissions to humans in the context of proposed malaria eradication programs.},
