Natural Products in Vector Borne Disease Management explores the potential application of natural products for vector-control and disease management. Chapters discuss the global impact of specific vector-borne diseases, gaps in management, and natural products in specific stages of development, including discovery, optimization, validation and preclinical/clinical development. Toxic effects and mechanisms of action are also discussed. The book also explores how therapeutic plant derivatives can be used to combat vectors of infection and how natural products can be used to manage and treat vector-borne diseases like malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue and trypanosomiasis.With the inclusion of case studies and clinical applications and contributions from experts in the field, this book is an essential resource for researchers, academics, clinicians in parasitology, virology, microbiology, biotechnology, pharmacology, and pharmacognosy in vector borne diseases.
