The application of nanotechnology in drug delivery is offering several exhilarating possibilities not only in healthcare but also in agriculture. Nanoparticles combined with the therapeutic agents have a proven edge over problems associated with conventional therapy; however, some issues like side effects and toxicity are still under debate and are of prime concern in utilization in biological systems. Herein, we discuss the role of nanotech drug delivery system mostly in animal and plants- highlighting the comparative accounts of the key techniques for designing of drug in animals and plants, the challenges therein, the important nanoparticles being used in both the area and prospects of the field in the near future.
