Zebra fish animal model on tuberculosis: a boon for researchers involved in new drug discovery

M. I. Glad Mohesh

Abstract :

Tuberculosis have plagued mankind for so long a period in the history than any other microbe. With the emergence of drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis like MDR and XDR it’s the right time to venture into new drug discovery. As the Mycobacterium goes for adaptive immunity against the synthetic chemical compounds given as drug and this habit is not seen against herbal drugs we need to focus on our ancestral wisdom to rule out the possible herbal formulations or drugs against this weird killer disease. This review explains about the emerging trend in using Mycobacterium marinum infected Zea fish as a surrogate for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis disease model.
