  abstract = {{W}estern gorillas ({G}orilla gorilla) have been identified as the natural reservoir of the parasites that were the immediate precursor of {P}lasmodium falciparum infecting humans. {R}ecently, a {P}. falciparum-like sequence was reported in a sample from a captive greater spot-nosed monkey ({C}ercopithecus nictitans), and was taken to indicate that this species may also be a natural reservoir for {P}. falciparum-related parasites. {T}o test this hypothesis we screened blood samples from 292 wild {C} nictitans monkeys that had been hunted for bushmeat in {C}ameroon. {W}e detected {H}epatocystis spp. in 49% of the samples, as well as one sequence from a clade of {P}lasmodium spp. previously found in birds, lizards and bats. {H}owever, none of the 292 wild {C}. nictitans harbored {P}. falciparum-like parasites.},
