Accumulating evidence suggests that a common single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii may be a contributor to affecting male fertility. An April 2025 study published in the FEBS (Federation of European Biochemical Societies) Journal showed for the first time that “human sperm lose their heads upon direct contact” with the parasite. Could this be affecting male fertility? Joining me today to discuss this topic is William Sullivan, PhD. Dr Sullivan is a Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Indiana University A common parasite can decapitate human sperm − with implications for male fertility
“Sound is life for me.” The latest installment of the Earth.fm podcast, Wind Is the Original Radio, finds curator Melissa Pons in conversation with sound recordist and expedition leader George Vlad. You can listen to and read George's work elsewhere on the site - and you may already have heard recordings of his in high-profile projects such as Dune: Part Two and Mufasa: The Lion King, as well as various documentaries, TV series, podcasts, and audiobooks. The love of George's life, as a recordist and collector of sounds, is to be among wildlife sounds, trying to understand them, and getting to share them. Though he confesses to being initially fastidious about avoiding anthropophony, he explains that he has become more understanding and flexible, given how reductive it is to imagine that nature is separate from humans (and vice versa): “We are moving forward, whether we like it or not; progress happens: people need to travel and use power tools.” However, though he has become more open to recording people, he draws a line at combustion engines. He also shares about his journey from being a sound designer, when he originally saw field recordings as purely “tools or assets”, with no appreciation for the ecosystems they originated from. However, informed by his experience of growing up in the Romanian countryside - which taught him the value of loving nature and of living with it rather than trying to control it - he subsequently came to appreciate and take enjoyment from their beauty. Additional topics addressed during the episode include: The “heavy question” of decolonising sound recording and working ethically as a recordist outside of one's home culture. And, how working respectfully with locals can provide information that, as an outsider, he wouldn't otherwise be privy to - but also the importance of choosing what to share, considering the importance of certain areas to Indigenous peoples “Being careful, being mindful, trying not to create tension and problems; this is just being a human, being a nice person, having common sense - it's not just about sound recording.” Where some recordists cause damage, ignore local taboos, or go chasing after animals, George has learned to be more mindful, preferring to work with passive-recording drop-rigs, which are not only easier for him, but less disruptive for wildlife Fellow recordists who see going back to camp and having a cup of tea as ‘cheating' and consider suffering to add value to the work. While George has taken part in extreme expeditions (for example, in Sumatra and Gabon), “It was tough; I got a bunch of diseases, and it was painful, and I had to come back and spend two months taking antibiotics and trying to get better - but that didn't make the sound recordings better.” Alternatively, sometimes you're in air-conditioned lodges and being driven around (where it's unsafe to walk) - but that this is equally valid. Being attracted to the 'extremeness' of the experiences is ultimately only a way of making everything about yourself, and “that's just focusing on the wrong aspect; the soundscapes and the sound recordings are more valuable than the effort you put in, or the leeches that suck your blood” Things that George is afraid of in the field - which turns out to not be a lot, something he puts down to being brought up around cats, which can transmit Toxoplasma gondii to humans: a parasitic infection which reduces fear responses and increases risk-taking. However, he does fear losing his kit on a job Memorable field-recording experiences, including “sleeping on the edge of an active volcano in Ethiopia, without having taken any precautions” against the silica suspended in its gaseous emissions, which can cut up the lungs like broken glass… On the advise of a geologist who turned out not to have any experience of volcanoes How to incorporate study and research into a busy practice - not a problem when you “find it hard not to read”, and when research fuels excitement about new destinations. Also: recommendations of books for burgeoning recordists - not just ones on the subject of field recording itself, but useful adjacent ones, like learning to drive off-road, climb trees, or take up photography How to support conservation - not only in the form of international NGOs like WWF, but also tiny three-person initiatives where donations more appreciably go further (as long as you check that they're doing what they say they're doing!). Plus, training others in sound recording, who can potentially continue to record in their local environments when itinerant recordists have moved on What George would like to see in the future of sound recording - not just for sound recordists to be properly compensated, but for this work to become established as an valued art form in its own right, with more courses, teachers, and the corresponding improvement in people's ability to listen and pay attention to the world around them. Plus! The importance of making jam, playing video games, and reading Jules Verne.

In the April episode of Chattering with International Cat Care, host Yaiza Gómez-Mejías introduces two conversations that highlight just how complex feline diagnostics can be.First, Dr Llibertat Real Sampietro discusses her JFMS Open Reports case study on fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis in an otherwise healthy cat. She outlines the parasite's transmission, the clinical signs that may raise suspicion, and the value of serology and PCR in confirming infection.Then, Dr Kelly St Denis is joined by Dr Frane Banovic to discuss the first of two JFMS Clinical Spotlight articles on immune-mediated skin disease in cats. Together, they explore how to recognise key patterns of disease and the practical role of cytology in reaching a diagnosis.For further reading material please visit:Fatal disseminated Toxoplasma gondii infection in a cat from Madrid, SpainFrane Banovic : Feline Immune-mediated skin disorders (Part One)Frane Banovic : Feline Immune-mediated skin disorders (Part Two)For iCatCare Veterinary Members, full recordings of each episode of the podcast are available for you to listen to at portal.icatcare.org.

Et si nos compagnons félins, si doux et ronronnants, cachaient une part d'ombre ? Une étude récente vient jeter un pavé dans la mare en suggérant un lien troublant entre la présence de chats dans un foyer et un risque accru de développer des troubles schizophréniques. Publiée en décembre 2023 dans la revue Schizophrenia Bulletin, cette analyse méticuleuse réalisée par une équipe australienne a de quoi intriguer.Les chercheurs ont passé au crible 17 études menées sur une période de 44 ans, dans 11 pays différents. Leur constat est frappant : vivre avec un chat pourrait doubler le risque de troubles liés à la schizophrénie. Une affirmation qui, à première vue, semble difficile à avaler tant le chat est perçu comme un animal apaisant et bénéfique à notre bien-être. Pourtant, les données sont là, et elles incitent à une réflexion sérieuse sur les facteurs environnementaux pouvant influencer la santé mentale.Mais d'où pourrait venir ce lien mystérieux ? Une piste évoquée depuis plusieurs années est celle du Toxoplasma gondii, un parasite que les chats peuvent héberger. Transmis par leurs excréments, ce micro-organisme a déjà été associé à des troubles neurologiques, notamment dans les cas d'infections prénatales ou chez les individus immunodéprimés. Certaines études ont avancé que ce parasite pourrait modifier le comportement humain, voire jouer un rôle dans l'apparition de certains troubles psychiatriques.Cependant, il convient de nuancer. L'étude australienne ne prouve pas de lien de cause à effet direct. D'autres facteurs pourraient entrer en jeu : le contexte familial, les conditions de vie, les prédispositions génétiques… La simple cohabitation avec un chat ne saurait être pointée du doigt comme cause unique de la schizophrénie.Les auteurs de l'étude eux-mêmes appellent à la prudence. Ils insistent sur la nécessité de poursuivre les recherches, notamment en explorant les mécanismes biologiques sous-jacents, les facteurs socio-environnementaux et les éventuels biais présents dans les études précédentes.En attendant, faut-il pour autant bannir les chats de nos foyers ? Bien sûr que non. Les bénéfices émotionnels et sociaux qu'ils apportent sont largement documentés. Cette étude soulève surtout une nouvelle question dans la compréhension de la schizophrénie, maladie complexe aux multiples facettes.Ainsi, nos amis les félins ne sont pas coupables — mais ils pourraient, malgré eux, détenir une clé de compréhension supplémentaire dans l'épineux mystère de la santé mentale humaine.

Co-hosts Anne Chappelle and David Faulkner speak with William J. Sullivan, PhD, Showalter Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology and Professor of Microbiology & Immunology with the Indiana University School of Medicine, about toxic parasites lying dormant in your brain and the power and importance of science communication.About the GuestBill Sullivan, PhD, has been studying the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii since he was a graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. David Roos at the University of Pennsylvania in 1994. He completed postdoctoral fellowships with Dr. Chuck Smith at ELANCO (a division of Eli Lilly, Co.) and Dr. Sherry Queener at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He became an Assistant Professor at the Indiana University School of Medicine in 2003. Dr. Sullivan is now the Showalter Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology and Microbiology & Immunology at the Indiana University School of Medicine.Dr. Sullivan's lab studies cellular signaling and the regulation of gene expression in a fascinating protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasma causes congenital birth defects as well as opportunistic infection in HIV/AIDS, cancer chemotherapy, and heart transplant patients. There is also emerging evidence that this parasitic infection may be linked to neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia and behavior modification. While the acute stage of toxoplasmosis can be treated, the ability of the parasite to convert into latent tissue cysts prevents eradication of the infection from the patient. Unfortunately, if immunity wanes, the patient can relapse and suffer additional episodes of life-threatening acute infection. Additionally, toxoplasma is a serious threat to some wildlife and livestock.Send SOT thoughts on the episodes, ideas for future topics, and more.

This week we welcome pediatric infectious disease specialist, Dr. Santhosh Nadipuram to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Why do parents feel hesitant about giving their children vaccines in the modern era, especially post pandemic? Medical professionals like Dr. Nadipuram want to help parents understand why vaccinations are important for their children and all the good that it does to help save children's lives. Enjoy this valuable conversation! Santhosh Nadipuram, MD, is a pediatric infectious diseases specialist and a physician-scientist. After completing his clinical fellowship in 2013, Nadipuram joined the lab of Peter J. Bradley, PhD, at UCLA, as a postdoctoral fellow. There, Nadipuram studied the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, focusing on the organism's secreted proteins and their roles in pathogenesis. He used genetic and protein purification techniques to identify and characterize several of these secreted proteins and discovered the role of these proteins in the parasite's survival and metabolism. Nadipuram joined Cedars-Sinai in 2018 and studies in the Arditi Lab with the goal of understanding the host response to Toxoplasma infection, specifically in immune-privileged compartments, such as the brain and the eye (chorioretinitis), using experimental mouse models of acute and chronic toxoplasmosis. Nadipuram received the Cedars-Sinai Clinical Scholars Award in July 2019. Dr. Nadipuram is an active clinician, caring for children in the hospital and outpatient clinic settings. In his spare time, Nadipuram co-publishes a podcast called Travel Medicine Podcast, discussing current medical topics as well as medical trivia and history. He also loves to rock climb with his two daughters.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================EL FASCINANTE LABORATORIO DE DIOSDevoción Matutina para Adolescentes 2024Narrado por: Mone MuñozDesde: Buenos aires, Argentina===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================01 DE MAYOZOMBIS«El pago que da el pecado es la muerte, pero el don de Dios es vida eterna en unión con Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor» (Romanos 6:23).DIVERSOS INVESTIGADORES ESTUDIAN DOS CURIOSOS microorganismos, el protozoo Toxoplasma gondii y el hongo Ophiocordycepscamponoti-rufipedis. Bonitos nombres, ¿eh? En una investigación sobre el protozoo, se descubrió que provoca una mutación en los ratones, haciendo que se comporten como zombis que no les temen a los gatos. Naturalmente, esto les cuesta la vida y hace que el gato también se contamine.En el caso del hongo, al atacar el cerebro de las hormigas, provoca parálisis en sus cuerpos. Las hormigas infectadas reciben el nombre de «hormigas zombis», porque deambulan por la colonia sin rumbo fijo. Al cabo de un tiempo, el hongo dirige a la hormiga hacia las partes superiores de una planta, donde aprieta su mandíbula y, paralizada en esta posición, muere. El hongo crece y libera sus esporas para contaminar a otras hormigas.A menudo el pecado se compara con un virus que ha invadido nuestro cuerpo, Pero el protozoo y el hongo de estas investigaciones representan mejor que un virus el efecto que el pecado produce en nuestras vidas. Verás, desde el momento en que nos dejamos llevar por el pecado, nos sumergimos cada vez más en esa realidad: le perdemos el miedo al peligro y nuestra visión comienza a considerar que los riesgos no son tan grandes. Ignoramos los consejos de nuestros padres, familiares, amigos y líderes, y la voz del Espíritu Santo es silenciada a medida que entregamos el control de nuestras mentes a los engaños de Satanás. ¡QUÉ PELIGRO!Al igual que el ratón que se acerca al gato, somos conducidos al único resultado seguro para el que insiste en los caminos del pecado. No permitas que Satanás te convierta en un zombi. Pídele a Dios que te permita ejercer el control de tu mente con la ayuda del Espíritu Santo, y que te mantenga firme en el camino de la salvación.

My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod When I was in college, I had a Microbiology professor who swore that cats were out to kill us all. She told everyone in any class that she taught that cats carried every disease known to man and they were going to pass them all to us. Cats were single-handedly going to end humankind. Now, she knew this wasn't true and if you've listened to any of my past episodes, you know it's not true, but today, I'm going to talk about a parasite that cats carry that could have a significant impact on cat owners.

My guest today is an American neuroscientist and writer. Born in New York, he earned his Ph.D. in neuroscience from Stanford University in 2014, researching Toxoplasma gondii, the single-celled feline parasite that infects mouse brains and may––or may not––mess with their fear of cats. As well as studying ancient genetics – specifically conducting tests on Egyptian cat mummies –– my guest is an accomplished science writer. He regularly contributes to the New Yorker, Slate, and Nautil.us. His recent book “Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness” explores a single moment in neuroscience translated through nineteen different modern theories of consciousness. A reviewer for the Wall Street Journal described it as “Stylish, witty, and insightful.” He is also a keen follower of video games. In a recent piece for the L.A. Review of Books he wrote: ‘I am convinced that, were Isaac Newton alive today, he would be a video game speedrunner.' Be attitude for gains. https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console.

A catedrática de piscobioloxía da UdC Blanca Laffon cóntanos os posibles nexos entre o toxoplasma e a síndrome de fraxilidade das persoas maiores. Dous grupos da UdC realizaron un estudo con 600 voluntarios galegos e portugueses maiores de 65 anos. Atoparon que o 70 % tiñan sufrido toxoplasmose e que un maior número de anticorpos correlaciona con maior posibilidade de padecer a fraxilidade. Polo seu deseño, o estudo non pode establecer se o toxoplasma causa a fraxilidade.
Si existe una pandemia de la que deberíamos estar hablando, esa es la del toxoplasma, un parásito unicelular, propio de los felinos, que cuenta con la posibilidad de manipular la mente de los mamíferos. Y sí, también la de los humanos .

In this episode:00:48 A new way to grow a tricky parasite in the labToxoplasma gondii, the parasite that causes the zoonotic disease toxoplasmosis, has a complex, multi-stage life cycle. Some of these stages will only grow in the intestines of cats, making it difficult to study. Now, a team has found a way to grow one of these stages in vitro for the first time, which they hope will help researchers learn more about this parasite, estimated to have infected around 30% of the world's population.Research Article: Antunes et al.08:50 Research HighlightsThe tiny VR goggles designed for mice, and how a squirt of water could give coffee a bigger kick.Research Highlight: Wee VR googles give mice a true immersive experienceResearch Highlight: Why coffee particles clump and make a mess during grinding11:25 Briefing ChatGenetic searches reveal a potential super-sized protein, and the rise of ‘non-stop' authors who publish a science paper every five daysNature News: The world's largest proteins?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Toxoplasma of AGI Doom and Capabilities?, published by Robert AIZI on April 24, 2023 on LessWrong. [Epistemic Status: I'm confident that the individual facts I lay out support the main claim, but I'm not fully confident its enough evidence to make a true or useful framework for understanding the world.] I'm going to give seven pieces of evidence to support this claim: AI Doomerism helps accelerate AI capabilities, and AI capabilities in turn proliferate the AI Doomerism meme. If these dynamics exist, they'd be not unlike the Toxoplasma of Rage. Here's my evidence: Sam Altman claims Eliezer "has IMO done more to accelerate AGI than anyone else": Technical talent who hear about AI doom might decide capabilities are technically sweet, or a race, or inevitable, and decide to work on it for those reasons (doomer -> capabilities transmission). Funders and executives who hear about AI doom might decide capabilities are a huge opportunity, or disruptive, or inevitable, and decide to fund it for those reasons (doomer -> capabilities transmission). Capabilities amplifies the memetic relevance of doomerism (capabilities -> doomer transmission). AI Doomerism says we should closely follow capabilities updates, discuss them, etc. Capabilities and doomerism gain and lose social status together - Eliezer Yudkowsky has been writing about doom for a long time, but got a Time article and TED talk only after significant capabilities advances. Memes generally benefit from conflict, and doomerism and capabilities can serve as adversaries for this purpose. I've been trying to talk about "AI doomerism" here as a separate meme than "AI safety", respectively something like "p(doom) is very large" and "we need to invest heavily into AI safety work", though these are obviously related and often cooccur. One could no doubt make a similar case for AI safety and capabilities supporting each other, but I think the evidence I listed above applies mostly to AI doom claims (if one uses Eliezer as synecdoche for AI doomerism, which I think is reasonable). I hope with this post I'm highlighting a something that is a combination of true and useful. Please keep in mind that the truth values of "AI doom is in a toxoplasma relationship with AI capabilities" and "AI doom is right" are independent. This post was inspired by one striking line Jan_Kulveit's helpful Talking publicly about AI risk: the AGI doom memeplex has, to some extent, a symbiotic relationship with the race toward AGI memeplex Thanks for listening.

Infinite Loops Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Words that used to carry a certain weight are now levied all the time, and this debases their meaning The Woozle Effect: An article makes a claim without evidence, is then cited by another, which is cited by another (and so on), until the range of citations creates the impression that the claim has evidence when really all articles are citing the same uncorroborated source The Toxoplasma of Rage: Narratives that do the best in the digital age are narratives that not everybody thinks are true, but those that divide people the mostGolden Hammer: When someone, usually an intellectual who has gained a cultish following for popularizing a concept, becomes so drunk with power he thinks he can apply that concept to everything The Streisand Effect: A narrative that people are trying to suppress will eventually leak out, and it becomes even more appealing to everyone else because of the very fact that it was suppressedOur minds are configured not to argue for what is true, but for what we want to believe and what we need to believe in order to be part of the tribe Purity Spiral: Members of political tribes inevitably begin competing with their fellows to be the most ideologically pure. The constant one-upmanship toward moral superiority causes the whole group to become more extreme gradually.

In this podcast episode, the hosts delve into a fascinating paper published in Nature Communications about Toxoplasma gondii, a single-cell parasite that can alter the behavior of its hosts. The study focused on cougars and wolves in Yellowstone National Park, where their territories overlap, allowing for the spillover of the pathogen. The hosts discuss the importance of Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect warm-blooded animals, including pets, livestock, and birds, and is zoonotic, meaning it can be transmitted to humans. They also highlight that the direct host is a feline, and everything else is an intermediate host.The hosts discuss how the parasite can affect behavior, making prey animals bolder and more prone to doing risky things, which puts them at risk around wild cat predators. They compare this subversive style to rabies, where herbivores become more docile when they infect, making them easier prey for predators. The hosts point out that Toxoplasma gondii infects around two billion people in the world, with a high prevalence in the population, but most people deal with the infection without developing any clinical symptoms or disease.The episode is a fascinating deep dive into the science of Toxoplasma gondii, with insights into its behavior-altering effects and the dangers it can pose to both animals and humans. The hosts also touch on the clinical aspects of the parasite, highlighting the guidelines for screening and treatment in immunocompromised individuals. Overall, it is an engaging and informative episode that will appeal to anyone interested in microbiology, parasitology, and infectious diseases.Thanks for listening to the Infectious Science Podcast.

We've all seen The Last of Us right? The hit franchise is based on the real life Cordyceps fungus, but did you know the fungus doesn't take over the brain? The true mechanism behind the zombie fungus is perhaps more terrifying. Also, there is actually a more compelling example of zombie parasites that receives shockingly little attention. In response to listener messages about The Last of Us, Brad puts his Ph.D. studying zombie parasites to work and explains the stories behind Cordyceps, Dicrocoelium and why Toxoplasma might not be all it's cracked up to be.

Everybody loves a good social media trainwreck - posts so bad that you can't look away. But how did we get like this? Have we always been like this, and social media just gave us a new way to express it? Vox's Rebecca Jennings joins the show to talk about 'Chronically Online' discourse. We talk about why people say the insane things they say on Twitter, TikTok, and other platforms, why we can't resist a good dogpile on those people, and what it means for our culture and our politics.

Coxiella burnettii causes Q Fever, a zoonotic disease that is rarely acquired by humans. But Q Fever has a history of being developed as a bioweapon because of its ability to be spread by aerosols and cause debilitating but not lethal disease. Dr. Stacey Gilk is an Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center who studies Coxiella. Dr. Gilk talks about what makes Q Fever a potential biothreat agent, how figuring out how to grow Coxiella outside of cells revolutionized the study of this bacterium that was thought to only grow intracellularly, how a large outbreak in the Netherlands led to the deaths of thousands of dairy goats, how cholesterol affects the ability of Coxiella to grow, how falling in love with Toxoplasma led her to pursue infectious disease research, and what a wonderful place Nebraska is to do science. This episode was supported by Gordo Sheepsay's My Dope Microscope, the kitchen appliance that may literally save your life. Participants: Karl Klose, Ph.D. (UTSA) Stacey Gilk, Ph.D. (Univ. Nebraska Medical Center) Janakiram Seshu, Ph.D. (UTSA) Jesus Romo, Ph.D. (UTSA)
