Theranostics Aspects of Various Nanoparticles in Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

Nanoscience and nanotechnology shows immense interest in various areas of research and applications, including biotechnology, biomedical sciences, nanomedicine, and veterinary medicine. Studies and application of nanotechnology was explored very extensively in the human medical field and also studies undertaken in rodents extensively, still either studies or applications in veterinary medicine is not up to the level when compared to applications to human beings. The application in veterinary medicine and animal production is still relatively innovative. Recently, in the era of health care technologies, Veterinary Medicine also entered into a new phase and incredible transformations. Nanotechnology has tremendous and potential influence not only the way we live, but also on the way that we practice veterinary medicine and increase the safety of domestic animals, production, and income to the farmers through use of nanomaterials. The current status and advancements of nanotechnology is being used to enhance the animal growth promotion, and production. To achieve these, nanoparticles are used as alternative antimicrobial agents to overcome the usage alarming rate of antibiotics, detection of pathogenic bacteria, and also nanoparticles being used as drug delivery agents as new drug and vaccine candidates with improved characteristics and performance, diagnostic, therapeutic, feed additive, nutrient delivery, biocidal agents, reproductive aids, and finally to increase the quality of food using various kinds of functionalized nanoparticles, such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, micellar nanoparticles, and metal nanoparticles. It seems that nanotechnology is ideal for veterinary applications in terms of cost and the availability of resources. The main focus of this review is describes some of the important current and future principal aspects of involvement of nanotechnology in Veterinary Medicine. However, we are not intended to cover the entire scenario of Veterinary Medicine, despite this review is to provide a glimpse at potential important targets of nanotechnology in the field of Veterinary Medicine. Considering the strong potential of the interaction between the nanotechnology and Veterinary Medicine, the aim of this review is to provide a concise description of the advances of nanotechnology in Veterinary Medicine, in terms of their potential application of various kinds of nanoparticles, secondly we discussed role of nanomaterials in animal health and production, and finally we discussed conclusion and future perspectives of nanotechnology in veterinary medicine.

Nanotechnology and its Considerations in Poultry Field: An Overview

“…(Sekhon, 2012). Bai et al (2018) presented different types of nanomaterials including liposomes nanoparticles, micellar nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimer nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, and carbon nanoparticles that have been used for disease diagnosis, treatment, drug delivery, animal nutrition, animal breeding and reproduction.…”

“…The meat of animals fed on these particles showed poor quality due to low resistance to micro-organisms growth, poor water retention and poor carcass traits (Fang et al, 2015). In addition, there is a lack of knowledge on the fate of ingested nanoparticles in human body and it is essential to investigate routes of exposure and also it is important to accumulate basic knowledge on their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (Bai et al, 2018). Potential toxicity of nanomaterials is not fully studied and risk assessments including hazard identification, hazard characterization and exposure assessment are essential (Oberdörster et al, 2005).…”

ESR as a monitoring method of the interactions between TEMPO-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and yeast cells

“…Nanomaterials are extensively studied for their use in various fields 1,2 . Biomedical applications of these materials, including new strategies in medical treatment and therapy 3–5 , are especially of great interest. Particularly promising is a potential role of nanoparticles as drug carriers 6,7 in order to reduce therapeutic dose and deliver a drug directly to a desired location 8,9 .…”

Safety assessment of the iron nanoparticles – a substance with antianemic properties – under the oral administration to rats

“…Зокрема, активно створюються лікарські препарати і діагностикуми на основі наночастинок заліза і їх оксидів [5][6][7]. Серед напрямків, в яких знаходять своє застосування наночастинки заліза, особливе місце посідає розробка лікарських засобів протианемічної дії [7,8].…”
