Scientists led by Nathan D. Wolfe and Francisco Ayala suggest malaria originated in chimpanzees and was introduced to humans by a mosquito bite. The study, drawing on chimps in Cameroon and Ivory Coast, argues the human parasite Plasmodium falciparum derived from the chimpanzee Plasmodium reichenowi lineage, with implications for stopping future spillovers.

Standish faces prison closure as locals weigh Gitmo detainees
In Standish Michigan unemployment over 17 percent raises debate over relocating 229 Guantanamo Bay detainees to a proposed site like Standish Maximum Correctional Facility. Residents, business owners, and officials fear security risks yet some say keeping the prison open justifies housing inmates to save about 280 jobs. Local workers rallied to oppose closure, calling for Governor Granholm's recall and "Save Our Town" messages as the debate centers on site selection and public safety.
