Revised Research Question & Short Synopsis

Question: Are the parasites Naegleriafowleri, Taeniasolium, and Toxoplasma gondii using the same mechanism to invade the host’s brain?

Ho: The parasites Naegleriafowleri, Taeniasolium, and Toxoplasma gondii use the same mechanism to invade the host’s brain.

Ha:The parasites Naegleriafowleri, Taeniasolium, and Toxoplasma gondii do not use the same mechanism to invade the host’s brain.

Title: Three parasites that want to invade your brain.

Synopsis: Naegleriafowleri, Taeniasolium, and Toxoplasma gondiiare three of the many parasites that invade the host’s brain. These infected hosts show unusual behaviors and in some cases death is a possibility. In my paper, I will compare and contrast the different mechanisms that these parasite use to penetrate the brain and how the host reacts to the infection. Since these are animal parasites, I will also explain how these parasites affect the ecosystem where their host lives as well as the agricultural and veterinary factors. Within this topic, I will also look into medical importance and how it can be prevented and treated.
