Summary

Psychiatric disorders are some of the most common and serious diseases in society and very often run a periodic course. There are several factors associated with the aetiology of psychiatric disorders such as genetic changes, the influence of stress factors, or changes in neurotransmission. Infectious diseases are another of the risk factors associated with the aetiology of psychiatric disorders. Certain zoonoses have the ability to infect the central nervous system and to modulate neurotransmission, thereby affecting mood and behaviour. In this article we describe a number of zoonoses that are associated with psychiatric disorders and that occur in our region. We suggest when it is appropriate to consider zoonoses as a factor and discuss their role in the aetiology of psychiatric disorders.

Key words:
zoonoses, depression, schizophrenia, Toxoplasma gondii, Borrelia burgdorferi, Borna disease virus
