Abstract

This review paper highlights the use of nanotechnology as a new opportunities for the development of novel strategies in terms of prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease (covid-19) infection is characterized by severe respiratory diseases, including bronchiolitis, pneumonia, high fever, throat infections, and common cold. SARS-CoV-2 infection is not limited to any particular class, and people of all age groups are vulnerable. The coronavirus is airborne mainly transmitted through droplets from the infected person or symptomatic patients or from asymptomatic people. The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from one human to another human is much faster, which has already resulted in its spread around the world and led the WHO to declare the covid-19 outbreak as a global pandemic. These outbreaks have tested the limits of healthcare systems and have posed serious questions about anagement using conventional therapies and diagnostic tools. Therefore, new controlling measures to overcome this covid-19 pandemic is the development of a suitable and cost effective vaccines and therapeutics. Hence nanotechnology platforms in the development of vaccines and therapeutic drugs have been developed based on nanomedicine, and have the potential to become innovative alternatives for overcoming COVID-19. A nano-based (mRNA-lipid nanoparticle) formulation for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and therapeutics is being developed as a delivery vehicle and found successful.
