Journal Article
Evolutionary history of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in the Americas
2022
Overview
Malaria is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus
Plasmodium
.
Plasmodium vivax
is the most prevalent human-infecting species in the Americas. However, the origins of this parasite in this continent are still debated. Similarly, it is now accepted that the existence of
Plasmodium simium
is explained by a
P. vivax
transfer from humans to monkey in America. However, many uncertainties still exist concerning the origin of the transfer and whether several transfers occurred. In this review, the most recent studies that addressed these questions using genetic and genomic approaches are presented.
