Nanotechnology Applied in Treatment of Important and Global Parasitic Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Parasitic diseases represent a serious and complex group of diseases leading to serious clinical manifestations usually associated with poverty. These diseases represent enormous health and economic losses in developing countries and particularly in poor countries of all continents. The etiological treatment of these diseases remains neglected and the drugs available for human treatment have limited efficacy and availability, side effects, and a low percentage of cure, particularly in later infectious. Thus, the need for new compounds in formulations employing special technology for overtaking these challenges is urgent. In the last decades, nanotechnology had brought important advantages for this issue. Thus, Articles or Reviews covering this theme arouse great interest in the scientific community, especially nowadays when the studies of chemotherapy and clinical essays have grown and new compounds proved to be active in pre-clinical studies.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
