Overview

This review highlights extracellular vesicles as carriers of leishmania virulence factors and their effects on the immune response.

Key Points

  • Leishmania-derived extracellular vesicles affect the host's immune response, potentially influencing infection severity.
  • The review emphasizes extracellular vesicles as carriers of leishmania virulence factors that aid in parasite biology.
  • Interaction between extracellular vesicles and host cells modifies immune response, suggesting a complex relationship.
  • Understanding the role of extracellular vesicles provides insights into leishmaniasis and potential therapeutic targets.
