Neuroparasitology
Neuroparasitology is an interdisciplinary field of biology at the intersection of neuroscience and parasitology. This field encompasses the study of parasites that infect, interact with, or otherwise affect the nervous system of their hosts, resulting in changes to brain structure, function, and/or behavior. It integrates approaches from neuroscience, parasitology, immunology, and behavioral biology to study both pathological outcomes, such as neuroinflammation and neurological disease, and coevolutionary relationships between behavior-manipulating parasites and their hosts.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Neuroparasitology is an interdisciplinary field of biology at the intersection of neuroscience and parasitology. This field encompasses the study of parasites that infect, interact with, or otherwise affect the nervous system of their hosts, resulting in changes to brain structure, function, and/or behavior.[1][2] It integrates approaches from neuroscience, parasitology, immunology, and behavioral biology to study both pathological outcomes, such as neuroinflammation and neurological disease, and coevolutionary relationships between…
