#CNRSLeJournal 📜 | Quand les parasites prennent le contrôle…

Découvrez l’incroyable stratégie de Toxoplasma gondii, un parasite capable de manipuler le cerveau… jusqu’à modifier les comportements de ses hôtes.

Cet article s’appuie notamment sur les travaux de Mathieu Gissot @gissotlab.bsky.social

Ces parasites qui nous manipulent L’extraordinaire odyssée du toxoplasme, le parasite qui manipule ses hôtes pour les transformer en pâtée pour chat.

🔬 Invisibles à l’œil nu, de fourbes micro-organismes déploient de subtiles stratégies pour se multiplier en détournant vos comportements ou ceux des animaux qui vous entourent… Bienvenue dans le monde des parasites.

Nouvelle percée en biologie parasitaire ! Une équipe française révèle comment RCC1-2 et APR8 orchestrent la construction de l’apical complex chez 𝘛𝘰𝘹𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘮𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘪.
