“…Although we considered doing a separate risk analysis for this species, reporting at the species level in the first year of the study was not sufficiently complete to allow for meaningful analysis. Furthermore, other malaria species also contribute substantially to malaria illness in travelers ( 24 ). Falciparum malaria is a clinically overt disease and will most probably be diagnosed.…”

“…De facto, early experimental attempts at infecting chimpanzees with P. falciparum gave poor results, but captive bonobos (Krief et al, 2010) and chimpanzees (Duval et al, 2010;Ngoubangoye et al, 2016) living in areas of high human P. falciparum endemicity have been found to be infected with these parasites. These infections were probably acquired from humans (Rayner et al, 2011).…”

Abstract. Humans and African great apes (AGAs) are naturally infected with several species of closely related malaria parasites. The need to understand the origins of human malaria as well as the risk of zoonotic transmissions and emergence of new malaria strains in human populations has markedly encouraged research on great ape Plasmodium parasites. Progress in the use of non-invasive methods has rendered investigations into wild ape populations possible. Present knowledge is mainly focused on parasite diversity and phylogeny, with still large gaps to fill on malaria parasite ecology. Understanding what malaria infection means in terms of great ape health is also an important, but challenging avenue of research and has been subject to relatively few research efforts so far. This paper reviews current knowledge on African great ape malaria and identifies gaps and future research perspectives.

“…However, the degree to which different populations living in sub-Saharan Africa are affected by P. vivax malaria remains unknown. The consistent finding of confirmed P. vivax in Europeans traveling to west and central sub-Saharan Africa49 suggests that endemic transmission occurs despite the overwhelming dominance of Duffy negativity among residents. It may be that endemic P. vivax indeed occurs but is not prevalent at levels where it may be detected by routine means.…”

Key Knowledge Gaps for Plasmodium vivax Control and Elimination

There is inadequate understanding of the biology, pathology, transmission, and control of Plasmodium vivax, the geographically most widespread cause of human malaria. During the last decades, study of this species was neglected, in part due to the erroneous belief that it is intrinsically benign. In addition, many technical challenges in culturing the parasite also hampered understanding its fundamental biology and molecular and cellular responses to chemotherapeutics. Research on vivax malaria needs to be substantially expanded over the next decade to accelerate its elimination and eradication. This article summarizes key knowledge gaps identified by researchers, national malaria control programs, and other stakeholders assembled by the World Health Organization to develop strategies for controlling and eliminating vivax malaria. The priorities presented in this article emerged in these technical discussions, and were adopted by expert consensus of the authors. All involved understood the priority placed upon pragmatism in this research agenda, that is, focus upon tools delivering better prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of P. vivax.
