Potential immunomodulatory effects of latent toxoplasmosis in humans

Abstract

Latent toxoplasmosis has immunomodulatory effects in human and probably protects men against some classes of immunopathological diseases. The main limitation of the present study was the absence of the data on the immunoreactivity of immune cells subpopulations.

Therefore further studies are needed to search for indices of immunosuppression in human using more specific markers.
