Abstract:

Nanotechnology is the emerging development of the core information technology in the 1980s, and it has been widely used in life medicine, optoelectronics and other fields. Nanotechnology is effectively combined with parasitic disease reagents instrumentation, drug treatment, vaccine prevention and control, and has a comprehensive application in the nano-gold standard test strip test kit and equipment, nano-carrier targeted anthelmintic drugs, new nano-vaccine adjuvant of research and development, etc. It penetrates deeply into the medical field and is widely used in parasitology. With the starting point of the application of nanotechnology in parasitology, this paper focused on the pathogenic detection, anthelmintic drugs and vaccine adjuvants of parasitic diseases. The authors described the application of nano-technology, such as colloidal gold labeled immunoaffinity chromatography, microparticle material synthesis and biosensing, in the diagnosis and diagnosis of parasitic pathogens. The progress of new nano-insect repellent drug lipid carrier, chemical synthesis medicine and herbal medicine research and development had been discussed here, in addition to liposomes, polymer particles, and cytokines in vaccine adjuvants. This review could be expected as a reference for nanotechnology in in-depth research and better application in parasitology.

Key words: nanotechnology; parasitology; nano-gold labeling; drug carrier; vaccine adjuvant
