Abstract
In recent years, the biosurfactants (surfactants extracted from microorganisms) have been emerging as an excellent natural alternative to address the various issues associated with the management of tropical diseases. The peculiar characteristics (such as low toxicity, biodegradability, pH stability, thermal resistance, and biological activity potential, etc.) have made these biosurfactants an interesting material to be explored for biological applications. These biological activities are not observed in the case of the utilization of their synthetic counterparts. The fundamentals associated with the biosurfactants (production, extraction, characterization, and confirmation assays, etc.) and tropical diseases (literature survey, medicinal applications of biosurfactants, and classification of tropical diseases) are elaborabtely discussed here. This book chapter is designed in such a way that the new readers and already involved research scholars find this study useful for the exploration of the research domain of the utilization of the biosurfactants as the management tool against tropical diseases.
