Abstract

Purpose of Review

Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) were first characterized a decade ago. Knowledge in this field expanded rapidly and although several questions remain unanswered, it is now clear that EVs play fundamental biological roles in fungi. In this manuscript, we update the reader with the most recent information on the participation of EVs in fungal physiology and pathogenesis.

Recent Findings

Fungal EVs were initially associated with the transport of macromolecules across the cell wall and extracellular delivery of virulence factors. However, recent findings indicate that they might also participate in prion transmission, response to nutrient availability, RNA export, morphological transition, and stimulation of different phagocytes.

Summary

The recent literature on fungal EVs reinforces the perception that these compartments are involved in intercellular communication and may represent interesting targets for antifungal development and tools for the generation of fungal vaccines.
