The manipulation hypothesis states a parasite may alter host behaviour for its own benefit, often by enhancing its transmission rate through the food chain. This paper reviews studies on the potential impact of one parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, on host behaviour, both on rodents, where altered responses may be proposed to benefit the parasite, and humans, where altered responses may arise as a side-effect of infection with no current adaptive significance.
操控假说认为，寄生虫可能会为自身利益改变宿主行为，通常是通过提高其在食物链中的传播率来实现。本文综述了关于一种寄生虫——刚地弓形虫对宿主行为潜在影响的研究，包括对啮齿动物的影响（在啮齿动物中，行为改变可能被认为有利于寄生虫）以及对人类的影响（在人类中，行为改变可能是感染的副作用，目前没有适应性意义）。
