Özet

Ruhsal sağlığın korunması ve geliştirilmesi Halk Sağlığı’nın önemli uğraş alanlarından birisidir. Özellikle, Toxoplasma gondii, Türkiye’de yaygın görülen paraziter-protozoal bir zoonoz olup, veteriner halk sağlığını yakından ilgilendirmektedir. Son yıllarda T. gondii’nin davranış değişikliklerine yol açabildiği, şizofrenide etyolojik bir faktör olarak rol oynayabileceği, intihar gibi durumlarda neden olabileceği yönünde çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, T. gondii epidemiyolojisi, ruhsal sağlığa etkileri (davranış değişiklikleri, intihar, vb.) ve şizofreni gelişimi ile ilgili çalışmaların sonuçları hakkında bilgi vermek ve halk sağlığının korunması için bazı öneriler sunmaktır.
