Cystoisospora suis, a porcine enteral parasite of the order Coccidia, is characterized by complex life cycle, with asexual and sexual development in epithelium host gut an environmental phase as oocyst. All developmental stages vary greatly their morphology function, therefore excrete different bioactive molecules for intercellular communication. Due to development, we hypothesized that extracellular vesicles (EVs) cargo highly dependent on cycle from which they are released. This study aimed characterize compare EVs all C. suis. Nanoparticle tracking analysis microscopy were used determine particle numbers size distributions stage-specific EVs. Furthermore, Fourier-transform infrared spectral was employed metabolic fingerprinting EVs, lipid protein profiles determined. Overall, revealed asexual, transmissible suis release during parasite's cycle. endogenous found be more similar each other than those stage, ratio fatty acids polysaccharides proteins changed development. In particular, associated Apicomplexa involved vesicle shedding showed changes expression stages. Lipid same concentration through stages, whereas amount stereolipids, sphingolipids glycerolipids between conclusion, this study, presents first known characterization demonstrates link respective parasite, putative functions parasite-parasite host-parasite interplays.

SUMMARY Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized throughout scientific communities as potential vehicles of intercellular communication in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, thereby influencing various physiological pathological functions parent recipient cells. This review provides an in-depth exploration the multifaceted roles EVs context bacteria protozoan parasite EVs, shedding light on their contributions to processes disease pathogenesis. These studies highlight a conserved mechanism cellular communication, which may lead us important breakthroughs our understanding infection, mechanisms pathogenesis, indicators disease. Furthermore, are involved host–microbe interactions, offering insights into strategies employed by parasites modulate host responses, evade immune system, establish infections.

Chronic inflammatory enteropathies (CIEs) are classified based on treatment trials, and new methods being sought for earlier differentiation characterization. Giardia infection (GIA) is one of the first differential diagnoses may be present in CIE-affected dogs. The aim this study was to evaluate faecal characteristics fatty acid profile (short, medium, long, branched-chain acids) dogs with food-responsive enteropathy (FRE), immunosuppressant-responsive (IRE), infected compared healthy control (HC) animals as a potential non-invasive indicator intestinal health that helps CIEs. C16:1n-7 percentage (p = 0.0001) C16:1n-7/C16:0 ratio served differentiate between HC, FRE, IRE. IRE presented lower levels short-chain acids (∑SCFAs) 0.0008) acetic (C2) 0.0007) other three groups propionic (C3) 0.0022) HCs. GIA higher fat content 0.0080) iso/anteiso (BCFAs) HC FRE. Correlations some desaturation indices canine bowel disease activity index were observed, suggesting these compounds could play an important role pathogenesis diseases.
