Nanomaterials in the Battle Against Pathogens and Disease Vectors: A Comprehensive Overview

Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool in the fight against pathogens and disease vectors, presenting a comprehensive overview of its applications in mitigating these threats. This groundbreaking book is the first to delve into the applications of nanotechnology across all three major domains of disease-causing pathogens: bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Bacteria, viruses, and parasites constitute a formidable list of emerging and re-emerging pathogens of high priority. Nanotechnology has proven to be a revolutionary success in eliminating, targeting toxicity, achieving precise immunogenicity, diagnosing, and imaging these major pathogens and disease vectors. This text delves into the fundamental concepts and advanced applications of nanotechnology for bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It explores the utilization of metallic and non-metallic nanoparticles, as well as the realm of nanotoxicity. Furthermore, it presents exciting prospects for the future applications of nanotechnology in biological applications.

This work serves as a valuable resource for engineers and scientists across interdisciplinary fields such as materials science, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, and others who are dedicated to mitigating the risk and impact of pathogens. By harnessing the unique properties of nanomaterials, researchers and practitioners can develop innovative solutions to combat these harmful entities and improve public health outcomes.

The use of nanotechnology in the battle against pathogens and disease vectors is a rapidly evolving field with immense potential for positive impact. As researchers continue to explore the vast possibilities of nanotechnology, it is clear that this technology will play a crucial role in shaping the future of healthcare and disease prevention.
