Description

Innovative Strategies Against Blood Parasites: Advancing Control Through Natural Products and Next-Generation Technologies explores innovative strategies for controlling blood parasitic diseases by combining natural products with next-generation technologies like nanotechnology and AI. The book provides a multidisciplinary approach to developing sustainable, effective, and accessible therapies to combat drug resistance and improve patient outcomes. Bridging traditional pharmacognosy with modern biomedical advances, the volume covers natural antiparasitic compounds, nanomedicine-based delivery systems, and computational tools such as genomics and machine learning.

It features case studies, practical applications, and future perspectives, serving as an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and students involved in parasitology, tropical medicine, and drug discovery.

Key features

  • Integrates traditional natural product research with advanced technological tools such as nanotechnology, genomics, and artificial intelligence
  • Provides comprehensive insights into blood parasitic diseases, including malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis
