Abstract

The ability of parasites to alter the behaviour of their hosts fascinates both scientists and non-scientists alike. One reason that this topic resonates with so many is that it touches on core philosophical issues such as the existence of free will. If the mind is merely a machine, then it can be

Summary

Introduction

There has, been a leap in our understanding it can be controlled by any entity that understands the code and of parasitic manipulation over the past few years. It examples of parasite-induced changes in host brain demonstrates the need for a multi-disciplinary and behaviour, encompassing both invertebrate and integration of studies concerning the molecular, vertebrate hosts and micro- and macro-parasites. The observation that parasitic infection can modify with studies on the evolutionary, ecological and specific host behaviours is an old one
