Plasmodium falciparum subverts neutrophil function via host miR-451a loaded extracellular vesicles driving bacterial superinfection susceptibility

Kehinde Adebayo Babatunde, Mtakai Ngara, Paola Martinez-Murillo…·Pierre‐Yves Mantel

This study shows that Plasmodium falciparum uses extracellular vesicles to deliver miR-451a to neutrophils, impairing their antimicrobial function and increasing susceptibility to bacterial superinfections.
