Extracellular Vesicles From Schistosoma mansoni Adult Worms Stimulate IL‐10 Release by B Cells
Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Schistosome parasites are known to modulate host immune responses, which is achieved in part through the release of excretory/secretory (ES) products, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). During chronic schistosomiasis, increased regulatory responses are found, which include enhanced IL‐10 production by B (Breg) cells.

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.
