A correction to your statement that, according to wikipedia, the disease cannot be tested by blood sample. Wikipedia, in fact, stats that it can be tested by blood or other tissue, but only if the parasite is active (non-latent).
Regarding its effect on behavior, the parasite seems to increase dopamine levels and possibly inhibit fear response. Since the increased dopamine is caused by an enzyme made by the parasite, this probably only occurs during a full scale infection. The inhibition of fear may occur while the parasite is inactive, if the parasite is able to enter cells in your amygdala. I do not see this inhibition of fear as long-lasting, except perhaps in extreme cases.
One disclaimer, I grew up with a few cats, so I may have been, or am currently, infected. I cannot rule out that this parasite is manipulating me to write this comment. Now I'm off to find some cat pee. Can't get enough of that smell, mmmmmmmm.....
