Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread zoonotic protozoan which poses a great threat to human health and economic well-being worldwide. It is usually acquired by ingestion of water contaminated with oocysts from the feces of infected cats or by the ingestion of raw or undercooked foodstuff containing tissue cysts. The oocyst can contaminate irrigation water and fresh edible produce. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the human population worldwide harbor this parasite. Infection with T. gondii is an important cause of diseases of the central nervous system and the eye in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and applicability of thermal (heating, cooking, freezing and low temperature), non-thermal (high pressure processing, ionizing irradiation and curing) and chemical and biochemical (disinfection, essential oils and biochemical methods such as enzymes, nanoparticles, antibiotics and immune response) treatments for the inactivation, inhabitation or to kill T. gondii in foodstuff intended for public consumption and under experimental conditions.
弓形虫病是由刚地弓形虫引起的感染，刚地弓形虫是一种广泛存在的动物源原生动物，对全球人类健康和经济福祉构成巨大威胁。它通常通过摄入被感染猫粪便中的卵囊污染的水或摄入含有组织囊肿的生的或未煮熟的食物而获得。卵囊会污染灌溉水和新鲜食用农产品。据估计，全球约有三分之一的人口携带这种寄生虫。感染刚地弓形虫是免疫功能低下和免疫功能正常个体中枢神经系统和眼部疾病的重要原因。本研究旨在评估热力（加热、烹饪、冷冻和低温）、非热力（高压处理、电离辐射和固化）以及化学和生化（消毒、精油和生化方法如酶、纳米颗粒、抗生素和免疫反应）处理方法在食品中的应用，这些食品用于公众消费和实验条件下，以达到灭活、抑制或杀死食品中的刚地弓形虫的效果。
