<i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> and Rabies—The Parasite, the Virus, or Both? by Ragan Wilson, Shannon Caseltine, Edith Will, Jeremiah Saliki, Ruth C. Scimeca

“…Anamnesis in some of the <i>T. gondii</i>-positive samples included ataxia, aggression, muscle rigidity, lethargy, and seizures, with the latter also described in dogs and aggression in the positive bovine sample. The clinical signs described in the <i>T. gondii</i>-infected hosts can be mistaken for rabies infection; therefore, it is important to consider <i>T. gondii</i> as a differential diagnosis in suspected rabies cases and test for this parasite when negative rabies results are obtained.…”

Passages de frontières et référence surréaliste dans Cette chère humanité by Cédric Chauvin

“…Le dispositif est d’emblée conforme à la tradition de la dystopie au XXe siècle, et rejoue cette « dialectique de l’intérieur et de l’extérieur » où Jameson voit le propre de « toute la science-fiction classique » (2008, p. 161) : l’humanité future se trouve, plus ou moins volontairement, piégée dans un lieu clos qui évacue la temporalité historique (on y révère le passé et on y vit dans des cabines qui ralentissent l'écoulement temporel) et où l’identité individuelle est sans cesse violée par une technologie qui, sous couvert d’assurer le confort, permet le contrôle. …”
