His work on how toxoplasmosis—an infection caused by the protozoan parasite ''T. gondii''—influences personality, sex ratios, and rates of traffic accidents, has received coverage in ''The Atlantic'', ''Salon'', and ''The Guardian''. Flegr maintains that toxoplasmosis might increase the rate of traffic accidents by as much as one million collisions per year. He also believes that ''T. gondii'' contributes to suicides and mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Provided by Wikipedia
