Toxoplasma gondii-altered host behaviour: elucidating the role of parasite-produced dopamine

2025-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Certain parasites appear to manipulate their host’s behaviour for their own selective benefit. The mechanisms behind such behavioural alterations in vertebrate hosts remain elusive, despite their profound implications, particularly for those parasites with a broad host range. <italic>Toxoplasma gondii</italic> , the causative agent of the globally important toxoplasmosis, is a canon...
