Researchers reported the discovery of a new Plasmodium species infecting Hominids. <br />New species has been isolated in two chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) kept as pets by villagers in Gabon (Africa). <br /><br />Analysis of its complete mitochondrial genome (5529 nucleotides including Cyt b, Cox I and Cox III genes) reveals an older divergence of this lineage from the clade that includes [[P. falciparum]] and [[P. reichenowi]] (approximately 21+/-9 Myrs ago using Bayesian methods and considering that the divergence between P. falciparum and P. reichenowi occurred 4 to 7 million years ago as generally considered in the literature). <br />This time frame would be congruent with the radiation of hominoids, suggesting that this Plasmodium lineage might have been present in early hominoids and that they may both have experienced a simultaneous diversification.<br /><br /><a href="http://biocentrewww.org Biocentrencbi.org]nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19478877?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum"><font color="#0066cc">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19478877?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum</font></a><br /></span></span>
