Currently the W. Stefański Institute of Parasitology of the PAS is a specialist and unique national establishment, conducting interdisciplinary basic research which leads to solving important parasitological pronlems.
30 kwi 2018 · Neuro-parasitology is an emerging branch of science that deals with parasites that can control the nervous system of the host. It offers the possibility of discovering how one species (the parasite) modifies a particular neural network, and thus particular behaviors, of another species (the host).
7 sty 2018 · Neuroparasitology is an emerging branch of biology that deals with parasites that can control the nervous system of their host. The diversity of parasites that can manipulate insect behavior ranges from viruses to macroscopic worms and also includes other insects that have evolved to become parasites (notably, parasitic wasps).
The typical clinical and radiological findings of nervous system infection by selected cestodes, trematodes, and protozoans will be reviewed (Table 1). Treatment of these infections varies greatly, from symptomatic management to surgical extraction.
The emerging field of neuroparasitology deals with the multiple ways in which parasites can control host’s nervous system and modify the behavioural pattern of the host. [ 1, 2] The preliminary evidence of this phenomenon has come primarily through study of insects parasitized with another insect species (e.g., jewel wasp parasitizing cockroach)...
1 sty 2013 · What T. gondii does to manipulate its rodent host is highly germane, as it appears to be doing the same thing in human brains. Papers in this issue present evidence that T. gondii also alters human behaviour and may be involved in the etiology of serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia.
