“格列卫”是瑞士诺华公司为药品“甲磺酸伊马替尼”注册的商品名。这种药品以白血病中变异的蛋白——酪氨酸激酶为标靶，用于治疗慢性骨髓性白血病和胃肠基质肿瘤。一项针对使用“格列卫”治疗慢性骨髓性白血病的研究显示，有８９％的病人在服用这种药物后能够存活五年以上。

I first encountered this idea while working on my book Parasite Rex. I was investigating the remarkable ability parasites have to manipulate the behavior of their hosts. The lancet fluke Dicrocoelium dendriticum, for example, forces its ant host to clamp itself to the tip of grass blades, where a grazing mammal might eat it. It's in the fluke's interest to get eaten, because only by getting into the gut of a sheep or some other grazer can it complete its life cycle. Another fluke, Euhaplorchis californiensis, causes infected fish to shimmy and jump, greatly increasing the chance that wading birds will grab them.
