Abstract

The 15th Biennial Meeting on Toxoplasma Biology and Toxoplasmosis was held between 19–22 June 2019 in Colombia. The Scientific Committee of this event (Figure 1) organized a program that gathered worldwide experts discussing new knowledge advancements regarding the protozoa and the infection caused by it. Numerous topics were addressed, including not only basic parasite-biology mechanisms, but also immune response, diagnostic tools, development of new therapies and public health aspects of T. gondii infection. Eleven articles and 118 authors are part of this special Research Topic published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, which offers a comprehensive view of relevant work presented during the global conference. In this Editorial, we will comment briefly the main aspect addressed for these works and how they improve our current knowledge for this important zoonotic infection.
