Parazitler canlıların davranışları üzerine etkili mi?

Günümüzde parazitler konakları üzerine patolojik ve immunolojik değişiklikler oluşturmanın yanısıra konak davranışı üzerine etkileriyle de dikkat çekmektedirler. Parazitler çoğunlukla kendi çıkarlarına uygun olarak konaklarında davranış değişiklikleri oluşturmaktadırlar. Parazitlerin konak davranışı üzerine etkilerinde nöromodülatör mekanizmaların etkili rol oynadığı ileri sürülmektedir. Bu derlemede; hayvan deneylerinde parazitozların konak üzerinde oluşturdukları davranış değişiklikleri, insanda psikolojik-nörolojik değişikliklere yol açan parazit hastalıklarından örnekler ve psikiatrik bir hastalık olan parazit delüzyonu son literatür bilgileri ışığında gözden geçirilmiştir.

Do parasites have effects on living beeing behavior?

In present day studies, parasites are increasingly under focus as agents having behavioral effects on their hosts alongside the more obvious pathological and immunological ones. Parasites exert significant behavioral changes on their hosts mostly in keeping with their own benefits. Studies suggest that the mechanisms which underlie the behavioral effects of parasites are of the neuromodulatory type. In this paper, behavioral changes affected by parasitosis on their hosts as seen in animal models, samples of parasitic diseases that lead to psycho-neurological changes in man and delusions of parasitosis as a psychiatric condition are reviewed in the light of latest research
