Abstract
Desalegn Kifle characterized the molecular composition of extracellular vesicles secreted by Schistosoma mansoni parasites. He demonstrated their role in host-parasite communication via host cell gene regulation, as well as their vaccine potential. His findings could have potential impact on our understanding of schistosome biology and the wider field of molecular parasitology.
