Nanotheranostics for Treatment and Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases
comprises the latest information on the technological advancements made
in the field of nanotechnology for application in therapeutics with
diagnostic applications. The book focuses on the theranostic
applications of nanomaterials in infectious diseases, highlighting that
rapid diagnosis, safe and effective treatment and strong preventive
measures like vaccines are urgently needed. It compiles all relevant
information to help scientists, researchers and students understand the
role of nanomaterials, how nanomaterials could be explored
simultaneously for therapeutic and diagnostic applications, and how to
ensure safety and efficacy of these nanomaterials.
Sections cover fundamental concepts, emerging concerns and challenges to
combat infectious diseases, the characterization of nanomaterials for
theranostic applications, and the toxicity, biocompatibility and
regulatory perspectives in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious
diseases.
