Abstract:
Vector-borne disease is an important public health problem. This disease is common in tropical areas and affects millions of people. The control and management of disease is an important consideration. Effective treatment is important in management of patients infected with vector-borne disease. A common problem in therapeutic management of the patient is the lack of an effective drug. Therefore, it is necessary to find a new effective drug for managing vector-borne disease. To search for a new drug, new technologies are applicable. Bioinformatics technologies are useful in new drug search. Application of the bioinformatics technologies in new anti-vector-borne disease drug search is interesting. In this review, the author briefly discusses the use of bioinformatics technology in searching for natural products in vector-borne disease management. Concepts and examples of some important diseases are presented.
