The effect of Toxoplasma gondii on host behaviour : studies on evolution and mechanisms of action

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii affects a range of intermediate and secondary host species, including humans, with cats (Felidae) being the definitive host. The mechanism of action of T. gondii in its natural rat host can provide profound insights as to evolutionary trajectory of parasite manipulation. I used a range of non-invasive behavioural and physiological assays to assess the impact of infection on different aspects of i...
