MicroRNA in Human Infectious Diseases: A Comprehensive Guide

Discover the therapeutic and diagnostic potential of microRNAs in the treatment of various infectious diseases with “MicroRNA in Human Infectious Diseases” by Vijay Kumar Prajapati. This comprehensive volume provides an in-depth exploration of the role microRNAs can play in tackling a wide range of diseases, including bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections.

Understanding MicroRNAs and Their Mechanisms

The book begins with a foundational introduction to microRNAs, covering their biogenesis and fundamental aspects. This sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of microRNAs in infectious diseases.

Therapeutic Role of MicroRNAs in Infectious Diseases

The book then delves into the therapeutic role of microRNAs in various categories of diseases, including:

• Bacterial diseases: typhoid, tuberculosis, and more
• Viral infections: Dengue fever, Ebola, Covid-19, and more
• Parasitic diseases: Malaria, Leishmaniasis, Lymphatic filariasis, and more
• Sexually transmitted diseases: a comprehensive overview

A dedicated chapter explores the potential of microRNAs in therapeutics for respiratory viral infections, such as Covid-19.

MicroRNA-Based System Approaches
