Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by intracellular obligate protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii. And it can be obtained mainly through the oral route, through the ingestion of oocysts or tissue cysts. For this reason, the intestinal epithelium is a cellular model that makes it possible to study the first line of defense against this type of infection. After infection, the protozoan invades intestinal cells, changing the physiology and functions of the intestinal epithelial barrier. In view of this, we analyzed the morphological changes and the microenvironment, in vitro, which are modified in the intestinal epithelial cell during the process of infection and evasion of Toxoplasma gondii.
