Scientists have found evidence of a parasite that causes most cases of malaria is a close genetic relative of a parasite found in chimpanzees. A report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, say that human version of Malaria is closely related to a parasite found in chimps.
Understanding how this chimp parasite became adapted to humans could help researchers trying to make a vaccine against malaria - which has been difficult.
This is not unlike AIDS - which is believed to have traveled from Chimps as well, as well as other diseases that originated from animals.
