<b>Host–parasite interaction in latent cerebral toxoplasmosis: The role of cytokine response in a mouse model</b>
This model shares several immunopathological features with chronic cerebral toxoplasmosis observed in immunocompetent humans, modeling aspects of the infection even in the absence of demonstrable tissue cysts. The immunological shift from pro-inflammatory to regulatory responses highlights the mechanisms of immune modulation and persistence. This study provides a useful platform to explore host-pathogen interactions and CNS immune dynamics in chronic cerebral toxoplasmosis.
