ABSTRACT
Romero LC., Applications and use of
nanoparticles in Veterinary medicine and animal health, Onl
J Vet Res., 18(4):
309-15, 2014. Nanobiotechnology could transform veterinary medicine,
animal health and other areas of animal production. Nanoparticles can
prospectively target and deliver drugs in real time. Other probable use of nanobiotechnology in veterinary medicine and animal health
include tissue engineering, identity preservation and tracking, animal
breeding, security of animal food products, optical diagnostic imaging and
major impacts on animal nutrition ranging from diet modifications through
nutrigenomics, pathogen detection and much more. In the search for improved
diagnostic methodologies, livestock disease diagnostics and therapeutics have
moved from the conventional methods to cellular/molecular and recently to nanobiotechnology In
this review paper the author identifies biodegradable and biocompatible
nanoparticles used in medical/veterinary fields and suggests that nanobiotechnology should be combined with other molecular
diagnostics and therapeutics to boost the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment
of animal diseases for food security.
Keywords:
nanoparticles, nanobiotechnology.
