Recent trends in rapid detection of influenza infections by bio and nanobiosensor

摘要

AbstractA literature update has been made about the progress and improvements in the use of biosensors for sensitive, rapid and specific detection of influenza virus. Background information about influenza virus and its structure together with a general discussion about the characteristics and significant aspects of different types of biosensors were used as a frame to put inside the main recent developments on the use of nanobiosensors for the detection of influenza virus. Working criteria of biosensors and their applications in different species of influenza virus diagnosis have been the primary concern of this review, which critically discusses the main advantages and limitations of studies in this field during the last two decades and their applications.Highlights?Limitations of traditional influenza virus detecting methods have been compared with biosensors.?Principles and different types of biosensors have been explained.?Biosensors provided highly sensitive and selective detection of influenza virus.
