ABSTRACT
The diagnosis and treatment becomes the two important processes in management of diseases. For treatment, there are several tools for therapy. Drug is the thing use aiming at therapeutic effect. To achieve new drug with increased efficacy, the new biotechnology technique can be applied. Nanomedicine technique can be used in this case and the nanoconjugate nanocarriers for drug delivery are the new techniques that should be focused. The application of nanoconjugate nanocarriers for drug delivery for management of medical disorder is possible. In this specific chapter, the authors summarize and discuss on the nanoconjugate nanocarriers for drug delivery for management of tropical diseases. In brief, there are many reports on using nanoconjugate nanocarriers for drug delivery against several tropical diseases including tropical cancers and infections. At present, there are many research groups working on finding new drugs against tropical disease using nanoconjugate nanocarriers for drug delivery technique. The results from published reports are usually favorable; however, the exact use of the nanoconjugate nanocarriers for drug delivery is limited in current clinical practice. It is no doubt that the new technique can be useful in tropical medicine. Nevertheless, the concern on the cost effectiveness and safety of the technique should be raised.
