Nature initially aids organisms by developing measures that allow bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals to thrive in their struggle for survival. As a latecomer, Homo sapiens gained the ability to observe, analyze, and utilize the skills of other living beings, which has propelled human advancement over the past 10,000 years. Initially, fungi, plants, and animals were primarily used as food or lifestyle products, but their potential as remedies, insecticides, and even weapons became apparent. Extracts from these organisms were recognized for their medicinal properties, leading to their application in various fields. Over the past century, the pharmaceutical industry has often mimicked nature by synthesizing pure compounds from organic substances, targeting specific ailments with fewer side effects. However, this approach has led to the emergence of resistance among disease agents, resulting in diminishing effectiveness of certain treatments. Consequently, there is a growing movement, especially in poorer nations, advocating for a return to natural remedies. This shift has spurred extensive research into the therapeutic potential of natural extracts. The book presents a comprehensive overview of promising applications of extracts from bacteria, marine organisms, plants, and animals in treating infectious diseases, repelling parasites, aiding in diagnosis, promoting wound healing, and even assisting in criminal investigations.
