About the Book
This book is a humble attempt towards sharpening the knowledge of undergraduates, postgraduates and all researchers who are interested in pursuing their research in the field of Bio-Nanotechnology. It focuses on fundamental Bionanomachines and their applications.
The book begins with the explanations that Nanotechnologies fall between the usual daily macrophysics and the quantum mechanics and covers their unique properties. Then it encompasses the domain of Biological system that efficiently functions at nano-scale using various biological nano-machines and custom made molecules. Fundamentals and applications of noble metal nanoparticles nano-engineered by different living systems and an up-to-date review of how DNA, RNA and proteins are so stable in a milieu fully crowded with other smaller organic and inorganic molecules, how molecular crowding endorses self assembly are presented in detail. The book also covers various aspects of carbon nanomaterials.
The highlight of the book is the fundamental philosophy in manoeuvring artificial intelligent machines capable of following electronic instruction. Birth of nanorobots using natural spare parts and their organization into a functional machine is main attribute of this book. It is an all embracing introduction to use of nanoscale architecture in medicine, environmental remediation, utilization of food, agriculture, cosmetics and synthetic nano-implants.

About the Book
We live in a global community in which the health of developed and developing nations is intertwined, with respect to diseases caused by various microorganisms. Infectious diseases can spread rapidly, making global surveillance and control of emerging infections vital to world health. Migration of the organisms to distant continents is taking place at a faster pace due to wind currents, natural catastrophes and through migratory birds and travelers. Global decline of public health systems serves to render the world more susceptible to infectious diseases. The book provides knowledge on the diversity of disease causing microbes including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans—the major diseases they cause and the environmental factors that influence the occurrence, transmission and spread of microbes along with the epidemiological factors determining the occurrence of disease.
The book has attempted to cover a broad spectrum of diseases infecting different organs of human and describes the microorganisms involved in the process. The diseases caused by parasites and helminths are also included in the text since the infective stages of parasites as well as helminths are microscopic in nature and need to be distinguished from bacterial infections by appropriate diagnosis.
Contents
1. Introduction to Infectious Diseases 2. Skin Infections 3. Respiratory Tract Infections 4. Gastrointestinal Tract Infections 5. Urinary and Genital Tract Infections 6. Blood and Lymphatic Infections 7. Nervous System Infections 8. Nosocomial Infections
