Abstract :

Plant-derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) offer a novel approach to managing zoonotic diseases in veterinary medicine, providing sustainable, eco-friendly, and effective solutions. These nanoparticles, synthesized using plant extracts, exhibit remarkable antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, making them ideal for treating infections in animals. PDNPs enhance drug delivery systems by targeting specific sites, improving therapeutic outcomes while reducing resistance in zoonotic pathogens. They also contribute a lot in vaccine development and immunomodulation and enhanced the immunity response against diseases such as rabies, brucellosis, and avian influenza. Beyond direct therapeutic uses, PDNPs play a part in One Health by reducing the disease transmission from animal to human and good health. Challenges still abound in issues concerning scalability, regulatory approval, and environmental safety. Future research should focus on optimizing synthesis methods and ensuring an opportunity for potential commercialization, aiming to integrate PDNPs into routine veterinary practice for a more efficient and sustainable management of zoonotic diseases.
