Abstract

African apes harbor at least twelve species, some of which have been a source of human infection. It is now well established that emerged following the transmission of a gorilla parasite, perhaps within the last 10,000 years, while emerged earlier from a parasite lineage that infected humans and apes in Africa before the Duffy-negative mutation eliminated the parasite from humans there. Compared to their ape relatives, both human parasites have greatly reduced genetic diversity and an excess of nonsynonymous mutations, consistent with severe genetic bottlenecks followed by rapid population expansion. A putative new species widespread in chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos places the origin of in Africa. Here, we review what is known about the origins and evolutionary history of all human-infective species, the time and circumstances of their emergence, and the diversity, host specificity, and zoonotic potential of their ape counterparts.
