Extracellular amoebal-vesicles: potential transmission vehicles for respiratory viruses

Abstract Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute respiratory tract infections in children and immunocompromised adults worldwide. Here we report that amoebae-release respirable-sized vesicles containing high concentrations of infectious RSV that persisted for the duration o...
