Toxoplasma vaccine research

Toxoplasma vaccine research aims to develop safe and effective ways to prevent infection by Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can cause health issues in humans and animals. Scientists study the parasite's biology and immune responses to identify potential vaccine targets. Current efforts involve testing vaccines in animals to boost immunity and reduce transmission. Advances in understanding how the immune system fights the parasite are crucial. While no human vaccine is available yet, ongoing research holds promise for better prevention methods in the future, especially for vulnerable groups like pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals.
