亚临床先天性弓形虫感染的雄性小鼠对其未感染的同伴的社会互动进行了评估，使用基于行为细分为元素组的程序。感染对与互动不直接相关的行为因素没有影响。然而，感染被发现增加了比较调查以及一些与侵略直接相关的因素。与逃跑行为相关的元素也相应减少。这些发现表明，先天性弓形虫感染使小鼠对未感染的同种动物不那么谨慎，并增加了成年雄性小鼠的领土侵略倾向。
The social interactions of male mice with subclinical congenital Toxoplasma infection towards their uninfected counterparts was assessed using a procedure based on the subdivision of behaviour into element groups. Infection had no effect on behavioural elements not directly associated with interaction. However infection was found to increase compa investigation as well as a number of elements directly associated with aggression. There was a complementary decrease in elements associated with flight behaviour. These findings suggest that congenital infection with Toxoplasma renders mice less cautious towards uninfected conspecifics and increases the tendency of adult male mice towards territorial aggression.
