Resumen
Abstract
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection with significant implications for human health, particularly in its ocular form, which can lead to severe visual impairment. While both basic and clinical research have made considerable strides in understanding the biology and treatment of this parasite, challenges remain. Recent advancements in diagnostics, mainly through multimodal imaging, have improved the identification of active disease and predicting outcomes. Experimental therapies are also emerging, offering new hope for more effective treatments. However, the most critical insight from recent research, particularly emphasized at the 17th International Congress on Toxoplasmosis, is the necessity of a collaborative approach. Integrating basic and clinical research is essential for translating molecular and pathophysiological findings into effective clinical practices. This synergy is crucial for advancing treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes in ocular toxoplasmosis.
