The disease is caused<br>by the infection of protozoan parasites in the genus Plasmodium. The severe syndromes of malaria infection arise<br>from the complex sequences of parasite-host interactions. It starts with parasite invasion and followed by the rupture<br>of infected red blood cells causing the release of parasite products that activate the host immune response. During<br>the past decade, research on the functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in many diseases including malaria has<br>increased dramatically. This article reviews the role of EVs in malaria immunopathogenesis. Investigations into<br>modulators in immune response, ubiquitous mechanism for intercellular communication between parasite-parasite<br>and parasite-host, as well as its usefulness as the diagnostic biomarkers are highlighted.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Siriraj Medical Journal}, author={Khowawisetsut, Ladawan and Khunweeraphong, Narakorn}, year={2019}, month={Feb.}, pages={89–94} }
