It's one of our common beliefs that mice areafraid of cats. Scientists have long known that even if a mouse has never seena cat before, it is still able to detect chemical signals released from the catand run away in fear. This has always been thought to be something that ishard-wired into a mouse's brain.
But now Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at theUniversity of California, Berkeley, has challenged this common sense. She hasfound a way to "cure" mice of their inborn fear of cats by infectingthem with a parasite, reported the science journal Nature.
The parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might soundunfamiliar to you, but the shocking fact is that up to one-third of peoplearound the world are infected by it. This parasite can cause different diseasesamong humans, especially pregnant women--it is linked to blindness and thedeath of unborn babies.
However, the parasite's effects on mice are unique.Ingram and her team measured how mice reacted to a cat's urine before and afterit was infected by the parasite. They noted that normal mice stayed far awayfrom the urine while mice that were infected with the parasite walked freelyaround the test area.
But that's not all. The parasite was found to bemore powerful than originally thought--even after researchers cured the mice ofthe infection. They no longer reacted with fear to a cat's smell,which couldindicate that the infection has caused a permanent change in mice's brains.
Why does a parasite change a mouse's brain insteadof making it sick like it does to humans?The answer lies inevolution."It's exciting scary to know how a parasite can manipulate amouse's brain this way," Ingram said. But she also finds it inspiring."Typically if you have a bacterial infection, you go to a doctor and takeantibiotics and the infection is cleared and you expect all the symptoms toalso go away."She said, but this study has proven that wrong. "Thismay have huge implications for infectious disease medicine."

The author's attitude towards the experimentis_______.

Consumersare being confused and misled by the hodge-podge of environmental claims made byhousehold products, according to a "green labeling" study publishedby Consumers International Friday.
Among the report's more outrageous findings, aGerman fertilizer described itself as"earthworm friendly" ; a brandof flour said it was "non-pollufing" and a British toilet paper claimedto be "environmentally friendlier" .
The study was written and researched by Britain'sNational Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It wasfunded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.
"While many good and useful claims are beingmade, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequatelyinformed about the environmental impact of products they buy,"saidConsumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging inBritain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found thatproducts sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmentalclaims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specificproducts, such as detergent insect sprays and by some garden products. It didnot test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the InternationalStandards Organization (ISO) in September,1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmentalfriendliness made by about 2000 products and found many too vague or toomisleading to meet ISO standards.
"Many products had specially-designed labels tomake them seem environmentally friendly,but in fact many of these symbols meannothing," said report researcher Philip Page."Laundry detergents madethe most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers showhow very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from themisleading." he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleadingclaims on product packaging, because terms such as "environmentallyfriendly" and "non-polluting" cannot be verified. "What weare now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standardsset by the ISO." said Page.
