In other words , the rat plays taxi to the parasite , finding it a new feline host and completing the toxo lifecycle .
换句话说,老鼠扮演了这种弓形虫的传播者的作用,发现新的猫科宿主,完成弓形虫的生命循环。
The toxo parasite is similar to the one that causes malaria .
弓形体寄生虫和疟疾寄生虫很像。
Aside from having the winningest team in world cup history , brazil has quite a few cases of toxo : two out of three brazilians are infected .
除了在世界杯历史上赢得了大部分的比赛,巴西还有相当多的弓形虫:2/3的巴西人受此感染
If we go back to the 2006 world cup , seven out of eight knockout-round winners could be predicted by higher toxo rates . The one exception to the rule was brazil 's defeat of ghana , a match between two nations that each have very high rates .
But this research fails to consider one of the most compelling measures of national character : world cup victories . Could rates of toxo infection predict soccer success ?
