Thanks. I can't actually see where the second paper says that there are reservoirs, at least not of P. falciparum, which is the most relevant. It doesn't directly state it but seems to suggest that there's little in the way of human infections that arise from another species.

The first link just says people would accept the vaccine. It doesn't get at all to the heart of OP's concern (that the parasite will hide in non-human reservoirs).
