Protein and small non‐coding RNA‐enriched extracellular vesicles are released by the pathogenic blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The identification of S. mansoni EVs and the combinatorial protein/sncRNA characterization of their cargo signifies that an important new participant in the complex biology underpinning schistosome/host interactions has now been discovered. Further work defining the role of these schistosomula EVs and the function/stability of intra- and extra-vesicular sncRNA components presents tremendous opportunities for developing novel schistosomiasis diagnostics or interventions.
