Chitosan and Chitosan Nanoparticles: Parameters Enhancing Antifungal Activity
Molecules, 2023 Chitosan (CS), a biopolymer derived from chitin, is known for strong antifungal activity while being biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic. Because of its characteristic it has been widely used in control of fungal pathogens. Antifungal activity of chitosan can be further enhanced by obtaining chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs).

Chitosan-Based Nanoparticles Against Viral Infections [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Viral infections, in addition to damaging host cells, can compromise the host immune system, leading to frequent relapse or long-term persistence. Viruses have the capacity to destroy the host cell while liberating their own RNA or DNA in order to replicate within additional host cells.
