Article Synopsis
- Parasites cause many neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people and leading to millions of deaths each year.
- Recent research shows that tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) from these parasites help them survive by interacting with host cells and spreading drug resistance.
- The paper suggests better methods to study these EVs, including how to collect and understand them from infected people and animals, and talks about different tests that can be done in host cells.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer envelopes that encapsulate cell-specific cargo, rendering them promising biomarkers for diverse diseases. Chagas disease, caused by the parasite , poses a significant global health burden, transcending its initial epicenter in Latin America to affect individuals in Europe, Asia, and North America. In this study, we aimed to characterize circulating EVs derived from patients with chronic Chagas disease (CCD) experiencing a reactivation of acute symptoms.
