摘要: Introduction Infectious diseases present public health challenges worldwide. An emerging integrative approach to treating infectious is using nanoparticle (NP) forms of traditional and alternative medicines. Advantages nanomedicine delivery methods include better disease targeting, especially for intracellular pathogens, ability cross membranes enter cells, longer duration drug action, reduced side effects, cost savings from lower doses.
