hi, just a quick question about a mouse parasite. a long time ago i
remember hearing about a mouse parasite who had as an intermediate host
an owl. infection affected the mouse behaviour causing it to run around
in the open thus increasing the chances of ingestion by an owl. it then
cycled through the owl and was emitted in the feces. if anyone knows of
this, please, i would like to know the name of the parasite and maybe the
hosts as well... thank-you.
