Multifunctional Role of Traditional Medicinal Plant for Dengue Fever in Bangladesh "-A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

A serious infection spread by mosquitoes is the dengue virus (DENV). There are four different DENV serotypes (DENV1 through DENV4), however DENV5 is now also available. DENV is spread from person to person via the bite of female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that are infected. Recently, it has spread to more than a hundred countries, yet there are still no specific, effective treatments for it. There are no licensed vaccinations or anti-dengue medications that are useful in treating viral infections. In an effort to find organic chemicals that can be utilized as anti-dengue medications, researchers have been studying medicinal plants . Our focus is on herbal extracts since they have the potential to be safer, more effective, and less toxic than manufactured medications. In areas where dengue disease is endemic, many traditional Bangladeshi plants are used as remedies. Many traditional medicinal herbs in Bangladesh have been found to have potent antiviral properties, and some of them have even been utilized to cure patients who already had viral infections. In sufficient scientific and experimental detail, this review includes information on herbal plants that are typically found in tropical regions and that have been shown to have anti-dengue qualities. The search, which was conducted independently by the two writers and includes pertinent papers over the last 10 years, was conducted using PubMed, Google, and the Liberary Database. With future research on the plants covered in this study, we can hopefully find novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of dengue fever. Keywords: Aedes aegypti , DENV5 , Aedes albopictus , PubMed
