Objective: This study is about anti-Toxoplasma gondii activity of curcumin: a systematic review of pre-clinical studies. Methods: In this systematic review, anti-parasitic activity of Curcuma longa on Toxoplasma gondii was assessed. Therefore, several databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Google Scholar were searched from 2010 to 2020. Results: Of the 2200 papers retrieved between 2010 and 2020, six articles were reliable and were scrutinized. From 2 in vitro studies, the most used strain was RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii, whereas among 4 in vivo studies, RH strain with 2 (50%) studies, Me49 strain with 1(25%) study, RH and Me49 strain with 1(25%) studies, From four in vivo studies, the most used animal model was BALB/c, and Swiss albino with 1 study (25%) and Albino rats with 1 study (25%). Conclusion: The combination of curcumin and nanoparticles formulated with curcumin are new and useful agents for the treatment of parasitic diseases and reduction of drug resistance.
