Citando:
"Toxoplasma gondii – suggests that it can be linked to mental illness in owners, particularly schizophrenia.
T. gondii is, as parasites tend to be, fairly deceptive. It has been shown to alter the behavior of mice, causing them to become "suicidal." Mice have acute olfactory glands, meaning that they have a keen sense of smell. Whenever they can smell cat urine, they tend to avoid it, wary of the nearby threat. If infected with T. gondii, however, they are not averse to it; in many cases, they actively wander towards the smell. This, as you might expect, leaves them exposed to cat predation. After a quick pounce and kill, the mouse – along with its piggybacking parasites – are ingested by the cat."
