The article itself seems to be talking more about the perceived sense of self is, and how that might be affected by organisms that replace our existing organisms. The title led me to believe it might be something more like the gondii situation mention. There is perhaps an association between gondii and schizophrenia. Here is one meta analysis[1] "The results suggest that individuals with schizophrenia have an increased prevalence of antibodies to T. gondii. This association is consistent with other epidemiological studies as well as with animal studies."
