Abstract

Nanoparticles are small, nanoscale particles that range in size from 1 to 100 nm and can contain either inorganic or organic substances. Nanoparticles possess unique qualities due to their unique morphology, size, structure, and surface characteristics. Nanotechnology applications are becoming more widely acknowledged as viable instruments in modern disinfectants, veterinary care, drug delivery, illness diagnostics, and vaccine production. Numerous medical applications, such as gene delivery, vaccination, medication, diagnosis, and treatments, have made use of nanotechnology. By developing new small-scale tools and materials that are beneficial to living things, nanotechnology has transformed almost every field of veterinary and animal research and opened up new avenues for the use of molecular biology and biotechnology. Among the many types of nanomaterials used in therapy, drug delivery, immunization, and disease detection are metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, fullerenes, liposomes, and dendimers.
