Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are particles released by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells whose primary function is cell-to-cell communication. EVs carry molecules from the cell of origin, such as antigens, virulence factors, lipids, metabolites, RNA, and DNA. EVs released by Leishmania play an important role in modulating the host immune response. Leishmania EVs can favor infection or indu…
