Nanotheranostics for Treatment and Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases comprises the latest information on the technological advancements made in the field of nanotechnology for application in therapeutics with diagnostic applications. The book focuses on the theranostic applications of nanomaterials in infectious diseases, highlighting that rapid diagnosis, safe and effective treatment and strong preventive measures like vaccines are urgently needed. It compiles all relevant information to help scientists, researchers and students understand the role of nanomaterials, how nanomaterials could be explored simultaneously for therapeutic and diagnostic applications, and how to ensure safety and efficacy of these nanomaterials.

Sections cover fundamental concepts, emerging concerns and challenges to combat infectious diseases, the characterization of nanomaterials for theranostic applications, and the toxicity, biocompatibility and regulatory perspectives in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.
