In modern research, nanotechnology is a very attractive technology and helps to reduce infectious diseases. Nanoparticles have gained significantly more important than the bulk counterparts due to their unique properties. This chapter gives knowledge about the general introduction of nanoparticles with classification and also discussed the effect of nanoparticles impact on public health. Nanotechnology is most widely used to reduced different types of infectious diseases such as bacterial, viral, parasitic diseases, etc. Nanotechnology is applied to detect different types of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. Nanotechnology is a useful technique to develop novel drug delivery systems due to their high specificity, high drug-carrying capacity, and high stability. Nanotechnology can be able to improve human health but on the other hand, we have seen a negative impact on human health and environmental health. The solubility and toxicity of nanoparticles is a major issue worldwide.

The COVID-19 pandemic has once again brought into relief and tension the delicate balancing act modern governments must strike in assuring individual liberties of its citizens, while at the same time dealing with infectious diseases and other public health risks. It is not clear how best to strike this balance, or how to judge which countries are doing an adequate job and which others are failing (on either or both fronts). What is clear, however, is that by virtue of it being available to the state, public health is based not merely on medical expertise but also on power, insofar as it part of the regulative apparatus of the administrative state which can be implemented by decree at the behest of the executive.

Three quarters of the population suffer from alimentary diseases. Dietology is an integral part of the treatment process. It significantly improves the effectiveness of treatment in the public health system. The dominant feature of it is the creation of the design of health programs for the sick person. Purpose of the Study. Substantiation of innovative alimentary technologies of dietary support in the system of public health. Materials and Methods of Research. The materials of the official reports of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and UNAIDS about the state of health of the population for 2014-2016 are analyzed. Medical and statistical method and the method of system analysis were used. Results of the Study and Discussion. The current state of Ukrainian community population health is characterized by crisis phenomena. The age-standardized mortality from non-infectious diseases is significantly higher than in the European Region and the World as a whole. Especially high mortality is in men. The transformation of the age structure of the population makes the «crisis of aging» closer. Specific features of morbidity include high levels of primary morbidity of the working age population and a significant accumulation of chronic pathology in old age. This fact determines the increase of the volume of medical services and the widespread use of innovative alimentary technologies, which serve as a necessary background for therapeutic agents. Conclusions. Public health of the population of Ukraine is characterized by high mortality from non-infectious diseases, marked demographic aging, high level of primary morbidity of the working age population, polymorbidity in older age. Due to critical phenomena in the state of public health of the population, the volume of necessary assistance substantially increases and requires the intensive application of innovative nutritional technologies. Promising alimentary technologies are metabolic therapy, nutritional support and dietary support of the treatment process. Key Words: alimentary technologies, innovation, health, nutrition.

This paper will discuss the issue of health (infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, bioterrorism) from the standpoint of national and international security, as well as from the standpoint of contemporary security threats. The main purpose of this paper is to show why it is important to view the health through the lens of security, as well as to show how health security has been treated in the national security strategies of individual countries. On the other hand, this paper will analyze the state of public health in the Republic of Serbia, which is significantly degraded after the events that marked the last decade of the 20th century, and indicate that much more effort must be undertaken towards the securitization of public health, and institutional observation of public health through the lens of security. Otherwise, in the future, Serbia may face a serious deficiency of capacities for the prevention, suppression and rehabilitation pandemic and other health threats, and the consequences that these threats can have on the national security.

For every nation state with a large population (Pakistan being the 5 largest), it is imperative to have indigenouscapability to meet one's own requirement of vaccines for one's own set of prevailing diseases. Imports arecostly and not always readily available as became evident globally during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.Microbial antigenicity may also vary significantly from region to region on account of mutations. Henceefficiency of vaccine too can vary accordingly.Vaccines have dramatically reduced the burden of numerous infectious diseases, promoted individual andsocial growth, prosperity and wellbeing across the globe. In the coming decade, vaccines are likely to savetwenty-five million lives1 , and will continue to be the cornerstone of public health programmes. It is estimatedthat six out of every ten infectious diseases in humans are transmitted by animals and 70% of emerging and reemergingdiseases are either spread from animals to humans or infected animals to the healthy ones throughinsects.2 The role of vaccines in human health is therefore not only limited to humans but is vital to controldisease transmission from animals to humans as well.

Successful control measures have interrupted the local transmission of human infectious diseases such as measles, malaria and polio, and saved and improved billions of lives. Similarly, control efforts have massively reduced the incidence of many infectious diseases of animals, such as rabies and rinderpest, with positive benefits for human health and livelihoods across the globe. However, disease elimination has proven an elusive goal, with only one human and one animal pathogen globally eradicated. As elimination targets expand to regional and even global levels, hurdles may emerge within the endgame when infections are circulating at very low levels, turning the last mile of these public health marathons into the longest mile. In this theme issue, we bring together recurring challenges that emerge as we move towards elimination, highlighting the unanticipated consequences of particular ecologies and pathologies of infection, and approaches to their management.
