Description
Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases describes recent advances in nanobiotechnology that can be applied to reducing the global disease burden of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The book explores the application of nanotechnology on the development of safe, effective, and reliable tools to prevent, diagnose, and treat NTDs.Furthermore, Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases includes multidisciplinary content, combining knowledge from biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, material sciences, pharmacology, and pharmaceutics. The book is divided into three main parts, each outlining one major type of approach: (1) nano-based approaches for prevention, (2) nano-diagnostics and detection, and (3) nanotherapeutics. Each part contains chapters that delve into the different applications of the type of approach being presented in that part. A discussion of other approaches against NTD follows these three parts. This book is remarkable in its ability to encompass and thoroughly explain the latest techniques in nanobiotechnology, from basic research to patient-oriented investigation.- Offers a broad overview of nanobiotechnology applied to the prevention, diagnostics, and treatment of NTDs- Presents cutting-edge recent advances in nanobiotechnology, focusing on diseases reported by the World Health Organization's NTDs Roadmap (e.g., leishmaniasis, malaria, schistosomiasis, filariasis, etc.)- Provides a deep discussion about ground-breaking approaches designed to meet the medical needs of patients suffering from NTDs- Gives examples of multidisciplinary investigations into NTDs, from research labs to clinics
