<i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> extracellular vesicles drive pro-inflammatory monocyte signaling

2024-12-24

Abstract excerpt

The parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica secretes extracellular vesicles (EVs), but so far little is known about their function in the interaction with the host immune system. Infection with E. histolytica trophozoites can lead to formation of amebic liver abscesses (ALAs), in which pro-inflammatory immune responses of Ly6C hi monocytes contribute to liver damage. Men exhibit a more severe pathology as the...
