1. Mehlhorn: Introduction.-2. Mehlhorn: Parasites/vectors of diseases endangering human and animal health -- 3. Mehlhorn: Lacks in blocking transmission of pathogens -- 4. Govindarajan and his group: Use of silver nanoparticles and plant leaf extracts in the fight against vectors of filaria, malaria and dengue.-5. Bann et al. (India): Microbial nanoparticles as mosquito control agents.-6. Rahuman et al.: Production procedures and use of different types of nanoparticles.-7. Different authors asked: Patent situation on microencapsulated insecticide formulations.-8. Kovendan: Larvicidal effects of insecticide-dotated nanoparticles.-9. Mehlhorn/Feldmann (Karlsruhe): Effects of insecticides on adult flies and mosquitoes. New strategies on the control of insects/ticks on walls, animals and ribbons surrounding fences.-10. Pospischil: Methods to stop growth of insecticide resistance.
This book sheds new light on the use of nanoparticles in the fields of parasitology and public and animal health. Nanotechnology has been used in many fields of research and in practical applications. A special subgroup is represented by the so-called nanobiotechnology, which is a multidisciplinary integration of biotechnology, nanotechnology, chemical processing, material science and engineering. In the fields of parasitology and public and animal health this technology has been used to develop systems, wherein acaricides and insecticides are included. This technique avoids direct contact of the hosts of parasites (animals, humans) with the insecticides/acaricides and thus minimizes effects on their health and also the development of resistances of the vectors (ticks, mosquitos, flies etc.). Since actually many original articles on the use of nanoparticles bearing arthopodocides appear indifferent journals ? as well as in Parasitology Research of Springer - it seems reasonable to check the status quo and to elucidate possible chances of progress. This book willappeal to a widereadership, fromresearchers through veterinarians toprofessionals working intheconservation, public health, or sustainableagriculturearea.
