Electrochemical Biosensors for Blood‐Borne Viruses Detection: A Review

Abstract

This review article discusses the advancements in electrochemical biosensors for detecting blood‐borne viruses. Infections like HBV, HCV, HIV, and HTLV transmitted through blood can be life‐threatening and have significant impact on both the health and social life. Therefore, timely diagnosis of these infections is crucial. Various effective diagnostic methods have been developed to detect these infections. The combination of nanotechnology and biology has led to creation of new diagnostic techniques using electrodes to detect microorganisms. This review aims to summarize recent studies on the performance of electrochemical biosensors for detecting blood‐borne viruses in the last five years, comparing their characteristics, limits of detection, and other relevant parameters.
