Parasites, Pussycats and Psychosis

This book proposes that an infectious agent may be transmitted from animals, specifcally cats, to humans and then cause some cases of psychosis. As such, the thesis includes two major problems. First, most people do not think of infectious agents as being transmitted from animals to humans. Second, most people do not think of human psychosis, including diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as being caused by infectious agents. Thus we must frst resolve these two issues before we can expect to make any headway on the overriding thesis.
