Meget vigtigt
review
fra forskere ved University of Leeds (UK) er netop blevet publiceret den
17/5:
"Neurophysiological Changes Induced by Chronic Toxoplasma gondii Infection."
Pathogens,
May 17, 2017 (104 references, hereof several other reviews and meta-analysis, i.e a vast
documentation)
"...several studies have found correlations of infection with an array of host
behavioral changes.
These may facilitate parasite transmission and impact
neurological diseases."
"T. gondii
induces numerous changes to host neurons
during infection and
globally alters host
neurological signaling pathways."
"...lead to
physiological changes"
"..have many potential
far-reaching clinical consequences"
"...chronic stages have become more
clinically significant"
"Altered neurological functioning"
"Alzheimer and
Huntingtons"
"..positive correlation between T. gondii and
schizophrenia"
"augmenting
predisposition
to mental health disorders"
"dendritic spine length was
significantly reduced"
"association between T. gondii and
movement disorders"
T. gondii genome contains two genes that influences the synthesis of L-DOPA.
Conclusion:
"In light of major programs to understand functionality of the brain
in “healthy” and sick
individuals,
elucidating the neurophysiological consequences of this ubiquitous parasite are
crucial.
Indirect effects of infection such as the host mediated immune and hormonal response are
likely to be contributing factors to host behavioral change."

opdagelser

"The common parasite Toxoplasma gondii induces prostatic inflammation."
"This
study identifies the common parasite T. gondii as a new trigger of prostatic
inflammation"
