摘要：

刚地弓形虫是一种在世界范围内广泛分布的专性细胞内寄生原虫，可引起人兽共患弓形虫病。脑内弓形虫感染可导致中枢神经系统病变，引起抑郁症、精神分裂症、癫痫等症状。本文就弓形虫通过血脑屏障建立慢性感染，引起中枢神经系统损伤和脑部疾病的机制进行综述。

关键词: 刚地弓形虫, 中枢神经系统, 慢性感染

Abstract:

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that widely distributes in the world and causes zoonotic toxoplasmosis. In recent years, parasite infection in the brain has been paid more and more attention. T. gondii can cause central nervous system damage, often manifested as depression, schizophrenia, epilepsy and other symptoms. In this paper, the process and mechanism of T. gondii establishing chronic infection through blood-brain barrier, causing central nervous system injury and disease are reviewed.

Key words: Toxoplasma gondii, Central nervous system, Chronic infection
