  • Toxoplasmosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: It has been found that the parasite has the ability to change the behavior of its host: infected rats and mice are less fearful of cats ? in fact, some of the infected rats seek out cat-urine-mark ed areas. This effect is advantageous to the parasite, which will be able to sexually reproduce if its host is eaten by a cat. The mechanism for this change is not completely understood, but there is evidence that toxoplasmosis infection raises dopamine levels and concentrates in the amygdala in infected mice. The findings of behavioral alteration in rats and mice have led some scientists to speculate that toxoplasma may have similar effects in humans, even in the latent phase that had previously been considered asymptomatic. Correlations have been found between latent Toxoplasma infections and various characteristic s: Decreased novelty-seekin g behaviour, slower reactions, lower rule-conscious ness and jealousy (in men), more warmth and conscientiousn ess (in women).
