Genomes of cryptic chimpanzee Plasmodium species reveal key evolutionary events leading to human malaria

African apes harbour six Plasmodium species, one of which gave rise to the human malaria parasite. Here, Sundaraman et al. use selective whole-genome amplification to determine genome sequences from two chimpanzee Plasmodiumspecies, shedding light on the evolutionary origin of the human parasite.
