Retinal and ocular toxicity in ocular application of drugs and chemicals--part I: animal models and toxicity assays.

abstract：:Toxoplasma gondii is an extremely successful opportunistic parasite which infects approximately one third of the human population worldwide. The impact of this parasite on human health becomes particularly manifest in congenital damage with infection and subsequent inflammation of neuronal tissues including the retina...
