>Sperm samples were exposed to the single-celled parasite for differing lengths of time, and the damage done was measured. After just five minutes in a test tube with the parasite, almost a quarter (22.4 per cent) of the sperm had been decapitated, and the number of beheadings rose the longer the sperm were exposed.
>Some of the sperm that survived were left misshapen and scarred by the encounter, their tails curled up or bent at right angles. Others bore characteristic puncture wounds to their heads suggesting the toxoplasma had tried to invade them in the same way they do other cells.
>The researchers also carried out experiments on mice and found that the toxoplasma were able to reach the testes and epididymis – the coiled tube at the back of the testicle where the sperm are stored – within two days of infection.
