Science suggests that schizophrenia is genetic (chromosome 6 is likely involved) and probably epigenetic in origin. It almost always occurs at the same time in life - late teens and early twenties, and has been associated with excessive neuronal pruning, something that might involve exaggerated immune cell activity. Immune function is a normal part of pruning.
I would say that any proposed explanation for the etiology of schizophrenia should take these facts into consideration. I don't know how toxoplasmosis figures into all of this.
