This book sheds new light on the use of nanoparticles in the fields
of parasitology and public and animal health. Nanotechnology has
been used in many fields of research and in practical applications.
A special subgroup is represented by the so-called
nanobiotechnology, which is a multidisciplinary integration of
biotechnology, nanotechnology, chemical processing, material
science and engineering. In the fields of parasitology and public
and animal health this technology has been used to develop systems,
wherein acaricides and insecticides are included. This technique
avoids direct contact of the hosts of parasites (animals, humans)
with the insecticides/acaricides and thus minimizes effects on
their health and also the development of resistances of the vectors
(ticks, mosquitos, flies etc.). Since actually many original
articles on the use of nanoparticles bearing arthopodocides appear
in different journals – as well as in Parasitology Research of
Springer - it seems reasonable to check the status quo and to
elucidate possible chances of progress. This book will appeal
to a wide readership, from researchers through
veterinarians to professionals working
in the conservation, public health, or
sustainable agriculture area.
