Introduction
Recently there has been renewal of interest in “infectious causation” of psychiatric disorders. And one of the organisms, which have received special attention, is toxoplasma gondii. This is primarily because of its wide prevalence and special affinity for brain tissue. Estimate is that 30-60 percent of humans are infected with toxoplasma gondii. Though most of them do not show any noticeable effect.
