“…It is estimated that around 30% of the human population is infected with this parasite. The most severe outcomes by T. gondii infection are due to reactivation of chronic infections, primo-infections in immunocompromised individuals, and congenital transmission ( 2 , 3 ). The latter could lead to miscarriage or irreversible sequelae in the newborn.…”

“…Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that can infect most warm-blooded animals, where it may invade the central nervous system and provoke neuroinflammation and behavioral changes (for recent reviews, see Mendez and Koshy, 2017 ; Martinez et al., 2018 ; Chen et al., 2019 ; de Haan et al., 2021 ; Nasuhidehnavi and Yap, 2021 ; Nayeri et al., 2021 ; Postolache et al., 2021 ). It is estimated that approximately 30% of the world’s population is infected with this protozoan, but there is much greater prevalence in African and South American countries ( Agordzo et al., 2019 ; Karshima and Karshima, 2020 ; Rahmanian et al., 2020 ; de Lima Bessa et al., 2021 ). For example, in Brazil seroprevalence is 92%, but in the USA, it is only 22.5% ( Jones et al., 2001 ; Jones and Dubey, 2014 ).…”
