The threat of zoonotic malaria remains largely overlooked in India, particularly in regions such as the Western Ghats (WG), a biodiversity hotspot. The WG has diverse species of non-human primates that serve as reservoir hosts for simian malaria parasites. The presence of the Leucosphyrus group of mosquitoes and other vectors of human malaria makes WG vulnerable to the risk of parasite spillover. Natural and anthropogenic factors have contributed to rampant changes in the WG landscape, leading to increased interaction with the sylvatic hosts and vectors. The simian host–human–vector–environment interactions govern the transmission dynamics of zoonotic malaria; however, our knowledge of these interlinkages, encompassing the effect of anthropogenic disruptions in the WG is limited. The impending threat of zoonotic malaria in India could decelerate progress toward malaria elimination, warranting a comprehensive and systematic investigation of disease dynamics in the WG.
