Abstract :

Because of its neurotropic properties and involvement in the emergence of mental and behavioral disorders, toxoplasmosis is a serious public health concern. The significant neurological condition known as Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes the brain's neurons to die irreversibly and the amount of beta-amyloid plaque to decrease. This article aimed to find out if there is an association between latent toxoplasmosis and AD. This article finds there is a potential correlation between Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and AD, even though a small number of studies assessed the relationship between AD and toxoplasmosis. Therefore, it is clear that more attention should be paid to the clinically significant topic of whether toxoplasmosis and AD are related. Keywords: Latent toxoplasmosis, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Risk factor
