Malaria is a deadly disease that affects the health of hundreds of millions of people annually. There are five parasite species that can naturally infect humans, including and . Some of the parasites can also infect various non-human primates. Parasites mainly infecting monkeys such as (in fact was considered as a parasite of monkeys for years) can also be transmitted to human hosts. Recently, many new species were discovered in African apes, and it is possible that some of the parasites can be transmitted to humans in the future. Here, we searched PubMed and the internet via Google and selected articles concerning zoonotic transmission and evolution of selected malaria parasite species. We reviewed the current advances in the relevant topics emphasizing on transmissions of malaria parasites between humans and non-human primates. We also briefly discuss the transmissions of some avian malaria parasites between wild birds and domestic fowls. Zoonotic malaria transmissions are widespread, which poses a threat to public health. More studies on parasite species identification in non-human primates, transmission, and evolution are needed to reduce or prevent transmission of malaria parasites from non-human primates to humans.
疟疾是一种致命疾病，每年影响着数亿人的健康。有五种寄生虫物种可自然感染人类，包括……和……。一些寄生虫还可感染各种非人类灵长类动物。主要感染猴子的寄生虫，如……（事实上，……多年来一直被认为是猴子的寄生虫）也可传播给人类宿主。最近，在非洲猿类中发现了许多新的……物种，未来一些寄生虫有可能传播给人类。在此，我们通过谷歌在PubMed和互联网上进行搜索，选择了有关特定疟原虫物种人畜共患传播和进化的文章。我们回顾了相关主题的当前进展，重点关注疟原虫在人类和非人类灵长类动物之间的传播。我们还简要讨论了一些禽疟原虫在野生鸟类和家禽之间的传播。人畜共患疟疾传播广泛，对公共卫生构成威胁。需要对非人类灵长类动物中的寄生虫物种鉴定、传播和进化进行更多研究，以减少或预防疟原虫从非人类灵长类动物传播给人类。
