Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from parasites have been identified as potent modulators of host-parasite interactions. However, their biogenesis and secretory activity are still poorly understood. Here we present a comprehensive examination of the secretory dynamics of two distinct EV fractions isolated from the adult tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta. Additionally, we perform a detailed analysis of changes in proteomic content and morphology during EV secretion, utilising electron tomography to shed light on a previously described novel mechanism of EV biogenesis via bead-like protrusion. Our findings reveal a significant decrease in EV secretion between 24 and 48 h of in vitro cultivation when external host stimuli are no longer present. Finally, this study addresses, for the first known time, the potential bias in EV analysis resulting from extended in vitro cultivation of model parasites.
