Extracellular Vesicles of Giardia duodenalis: Unravelling Their Virulence Factors and Potential to Induce Protection Against Experimental Giardiasis

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key mediators of intercellular communication, enabling trans‐kingdom exchange of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. In Giardia duodenalis, EVs contribute to parasite survival, host–pathogen interactions, and immune modulation.

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design of Fusion Recombinant Protein (EgFABP1‐EgTeg) for Enhanced Immunodiagnosis of Hydatid Cysts

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hydatid cyst disease is caused by the parasite Echinococcus and poses significant health concerns worldwide. Due to the lack of early symptoms and limited diagnostic tools, researchers aim to design a more specific and sensitive antigen. The study focuses on developing a recombinant multi‐epitope antigen using two parasite proteins (

Extracellular vesicles secreted by Schistosoma mansoni contain protein vaccine candidates.

International Journal of Parasitology, 2016
Herein we show for the first time that Schistosoma mansoni adult worms secrete exosome-like extracellular vesicles ranging from 50 to 130nm in size. Extracellular vesicles were collected from the excretory/secretory products of cultured adult flukes and ...
