Protein profile of extracellular vesicles derived from adult Parascaris spp.

October 10, 2024

Parascaris spp. represent a significant threat to equine health worldwide, particularly in foals. The long-term survival of parasites in the host necessitates persistent modulation of the host immune response. Intercellular communication achieved through the exchange of molecules via extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from the parasite could be a crucial factor in this regard. This study aimed to isolate and characterize EVs released by adult male and female Parascaris worms and conduct a proteomic analysis to identify sex-specific proteins and potential immunomodulatory factors.

Consuming fish oil or seafood along with their omega-3 fatty acids—good. Consuming too much red meat along with its omega-6 fatty acids—bad. In reality, however, the impact of arachidonic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat found only in animal products, upon human health remains a complicated, poorly understood matter.
