T1 - Wild Chimpanzees Infected with 5 Plasmodium Species T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 12 SP - 1956 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Data are missing on the diversity of Plasmodium spp. infecting apes that live in their natural habitat, with limited possibility of human-mosquito-ape exchange. We surveyed Plasmodium spp. diversity in wild chimpanzees living in an undisturbed tropical rainforest habitat and found 5 species: P. malariae, P. vivax, P. ovale, P. reichenowi, and P. gaboni.
