Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives (2021, background): “The trophic transmission of parasites can often involve parasite manipulation of the behaviour of the intermediate host to promote their ingestion by a final host (Thomas et al., 2010).”
Host Manipulation by Parasites: Cases, Patterns, and Remaining Doubts (2016, unknown): “I expand the spectrum of biological models that have been covered in other, recent reviews (Thomas et al., 2005, 2010; Libersat et al., 2009; Poulin, 2010; Flegr, 2013a; Weinersmith and Faulkes, 2014) to include plant pathogens and the causal agents of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).”
Microbial genes, brain & behaviour – epigenetic regulation of the gut–brain axis (2014, background): “The scientific literature describes a fascinating variety of microand macroparasites that significantly alter host behaviour to complete their sometimes complex life cycles by as yet elusive mechanisms (Berdoy et al. 2000; Cézilly et al. 2010; Libersat et al. 2009; Thomas et al. 2010).”
