Its treatment remains challenging with several side effects, urging the exploration of new, safe, and efficient drugs. We aimed to explore the therapeutic efficacy of the medicinal plant\n                    <jats:italic>Garcinia cambogia<\/jats:italic>\n                    (GC) against both acute and chronic toxoplasmosis. Sixty Swiss albino mice were allocated into five groups: I (healthy), II (model), III (spiramycin [SPM] treated, IV (GC treated), and V (SPM\u2009+\u2009GC treated). Each group is further divided into two subgroups receiving treatment at 4 and 42\u2009days postinfection (dpi) for acute and chronic infection, respectively.

The best treatment outcome was observed in the SPM\u2009+\u2009GC\u2013treated groups in both acute and chronic infections, with inhibition percentages of 89% and 78%, respectively, and preservation of neuronal integrity, as evidenced by the lowest Iba1 expression levels.
