Excerpt from The Journal of the Alabama Academy of Science, Vol. 80: April, 2009
The origin and subsequent proliferation of malarias capable of infecting humans in South America remain unclear, particularly with respect to the role of Neotropical monkeys in the infectious chain of Plasmodium vivax. First, the evidence to date will be reviewed for pre-columbian human malaria, introduction with colonization, zoonotic transfer from cebid monkeys, and anthroponotic transfer to monkeys. Second, the role of demographic and ecological changes following European contact in the proliferation of malaria will be addressed with attention to changes in the habitat of malarial vectors following the Amazonian reforestation between 1500-1750. Third, cultural behaviors of indigenous Amazonians, such as primate hunting and pet - keeping, will be addressed in terms of their role in the perpetuation of the contemporary enzootic cycle of vivax-type malarias.

In particular, the types of implements used in the creation of the incised marks on bone are closely examined.
