  • Analysis of the impact of T. gondii on public and animal health.
  • Synthesis of information on vaccine efficacy and safety.

Main Results:

  • Vaccination is a promising approach to control T. gondii.
  • Current research focuses on various vaccine candidates and delivery systems.
  • Protecting vulnerable populations remains a key challenge.

Conclusions:

  • Vaccine development for T. gondii is essential for public and animal health.
  • Further research is needed to overcome challenges in protecting pregnant women and the immunocompromised.
  • Effective vaccines could mitigate economic losses and disease burden.
