Malaria is a vector-borne infection caused by unicellular parasite of the genus  Plasmodium. Plasmodia  are obligate intracellular parasites that are able to infect and replicate within the erythrocytes after a clinically silent replication phase in the liver. Four species ( P.falciparum ,  P.malariae ,  P.ovale  and  P.vivax ) are traditionally recognized as responsible of natural infection in human beings but the recent upsurge of  P.knowlesi  malaria in South-East Asia has led clinicians to consider it as the fifth human malaria parasite. Recent studies in wild-living apes in Africa have revealed that  P.falciparum , the most deadly form of human malaria, is not only human-host restricted as previously believed and its phylogenetic lineage is much more complex with new species identified in gorilla, bonobo and chimpanzee. Although less impressive, new data on biology of  P.malariae ,  P.ovale  and  P.vivax  are also emerging and will be briefly discussed in this review.
