Some researchers have found an association between some cases of schizophrenia and toxoplasmosis (a parasite carried by cats and other domestic animals), which can lie dormant in the nervous system and migrate to the brain over many years. Schizophrenic patients who are exposed to the parasite respond poorly to clozapine treatment. There is no evidence, however, that exposure to toxoplasmosis causes schizophrenia.

| toxoplasmosis |
An infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite. The parasite is carried by cats, birds, and other animals, and is found in soil contaminated by cat feces and in meat, particularly pork. The parasite can infect the lungs, retina of the eye, heart, pancreas, liver, colon, and testes. If the immune system becomes severely damaged, as in HIV-infected persons, T. gondii can begin to multiply and cause severe disease. In HIV-infected persons, the most common site of toxoplasmosis is the brain.
