Abstract:
Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii, an opportunistic pathogenic protozoan, is widely distributed worldwide and can cause
zoonoses, which is a serious threat to human health. Nowadays, the relationship between T. gondii infection and
neuropsychiatric diseases has attracted researchers' attention increasingly. T. gondii infection is related to the pathogenesis of
many neuropsychiatric diseases by affecting the nervous system, such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's disease, and so
on. This review will focus on the relationship between T. gondii infection and neuropsychiatric diseases and summarizes the
possible mechanisms of disorders resulting from T. gondii infection． It is expected that the study on the related pathogenic
mechanism of T. gondii will lead to new therapeutic directions and feasible solution for the clinical treatment of
neuropsychiatric diseases caused by T. gondii infection.
