  • A variant of MHC class I is protective against severe malaria disease and enriched in affected African populations. Here, Wroblewski et al., characterise the consequences of malaria infection in wild bonobo populations showing that the presence of malaria drives a similar evolution in immune genes.

  • Plasmodium vivax, the leading cause of human malaria in Asia and Latin America, is thought to have an Asian origin. Here, the authors show that wild chimpanzees and gorillas in Africa are infected with parasites that are closely related to P. vivax, indicating an African origin for this species.

  • Unlike chimpanzees and gorillas, bonobos have not been found infected by malaria parasites in the wild. Here, Liu et al. report more thorough survey and sequencing results showing that bonobos host malaria parasites, including a yet-unknown species, but only in the eastern-most part of their range.
