Introduction

Recently infectious and inflammatory diseases have been a key concern worldwide due to tremendous morbidity and mortality world Wide. Recent, nCOVID-9 pandemic is a good example for the emerging infectious disease outbreak. The world is facing many emerging and re-emerging diseases out breaks at present however, there is huge lack of new drugs/strategies to combat these disorders. Repurposing of the drugs (screening of the used drug for a different purpose) molecules has been a key strategy with many success stories including nCOVID-19 pandemic. Plants based newer bioactive molecules are coming in nowadays having immunomodulatory effects and thereby mitigating the disease perspectives. New antiviral drugs are being made based on the plant products and immunotherapeutic materials. Nano-medicine based on the nanostructures are enabling new avenues for infectious and other inflammation associated disorders. These, materials have emerged as strong device for drug development and a rapid growth is experienced in the area of biomedical sciences specially for infectious and immunological (inflammatory) disorders. Natural products based new drugs safer as they have high biocompatibility, are more biodegradable nature. Apart from this various immunomodulatory molecule are being discovered which are providing newer and more recent ways towards the development of noble therapeutics against infectious and inflammatory disorders. Therefore, there is a huge need to discuss and publish a special issue on this area of enormous demand, which is also the need of the hours.
