Toxoplasmosis and Cancer: Current Knowledge and Research Perspectives

Authors:

Vittecoq M., Thomas F.

Abstract:

Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is one of the most prevalent parasitic diseases; it is estimated to affect a third of the world’s human population. Many studies showedthat latenttoxoplasmosismay cause in somepatients significant adverse effects including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. In addition, two recent studies highlighted a positive correlation between the prevalence of brain tumors and that of T. gondii at national and international scale. These studies are correlative, thus they do not demonstrate a causal link between T. gondii and brain tumors. Yet, they call for further research that could shed light on the possible mechanisms underlying this association.
