Abstract
Background:
Lymphatic filariasis is a pervasive and life-threatening disease for human beings.
Currently, 893 million people in 49 countries worldwide affected by lymphatic filariasis as per
WHO statistics. The concealed aspects of lymphatic diseases such as delayed disease detection, inappropriate
disease imaging, the geographical outbreak of infection, and lack of preventive chemotherapy
have brought this epidemic to the edge of Neglected Tropical Diseases. Many medications and natural
bioactive substances have seen to promote filaricidal activity against the target parasitic species.
However, the majority of failures have occurred in pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic issues.
Objective:
The purpose of the study is to focus on the challenges and therapeutic issues in the treatment
of filariasis. The review brings novel techniques and therapeutic approaches for combating lymphatic filariasis.
It also offers significant developments and opportunities for such therapeutic interventions.
Conclusion:
Through this review, an attempt has made to critically evaluate the avenues of innovative
pharmaceuticals and molecular targeting approaches to bring an integrated solution to combat lymphatic
filariasis.
