Dengue virus infection: A review of advances in the emerging rapid detection methods

Abstract

Dengue virus infections are increasing worldwide generally and in Asia, Central and South America and Africa, particularly. It poses a serious threat to the children population. The rapid and accurate diagnostic systems are essentially required due to lack of effective vaccine against dengue virus and the progressive spread of the dengue virus infection. The recent progress in developing micro-and nano-fabrication techniques has led to low cost and scale down the biomedical point-of-care devices. Starting from the conventional and modern available methods for the diagnosis of dengue infection, this review examines several emerging rapid and point-of-care diagnostic devices that hold significant potential for the progress in smart diagnosis tools. The given review revealed that an effective vaccine is required urgently against all the dengue virus serotypes. However, the rapid detection methods of dengue virus help in early treatment and significantly reduce the dengue virus outbreak.

Recent Progress in Spectroscopic Methods for the Detection of Foodborne Pathogenic Bacteria

“…In the last few years, some trends in the area of spectrometry have emerged, including the use of nanoparticles, microfluidic platforms, specific biorecognition elements, and artificial intelligence [ 20 , 21 ]. Miniature devices related to spectroscopy microfluidic platforms in the field of biosensing have emerged in the last decade, and have been applied widely in biomedical devices [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Smartphones are ubiquitous, and user-friendly applications can be built for making point-of-care systems.…”
