Abstract:
Due to changes in our climate and constant loss of habitat for animals, new pathogens for humans are constantly erupting. SARS-CoV-2 virus, become so infectious and deadly that they put new challenge to the whole technological advancement of healthcare. Within this very decade, several other deadly virus outbreaks were witnessed by humans such as Zika virus, Ebola virus, MERS-coronavirus etc. and there might be even more infectious and deadlier diseases in the horizon. Though conventional techniques have succeeded in detecting these viruses to some extent, these techniques are time-consuming, costly, and require trained human-resources. Plasmonic metamaterial based biosensors might pave the way to low-cost rapid virus detection. So this review discusses in details, the latest development in plasmonics and metamaterial based biosensors for virus, viral particles and antigen detection and the future direction of research in this field.
摘要:
由于气候变化和动物栖息地的不断丧失,人类新的病原体不断爆发。SARS-CoV-2病毒,变得如此有感染力和致命,以至于他们对医疗保健的整个技术进步提出了新的挑战。在这十年内,其他几起致命的病毒爆发也被人类目睹,比如寨卡病毒,埃博拉病毒,MERS-冠状病毒等。可能会有更多的传染性和更致命的疾病。尽管传统技术已经在某种程度上成功地检测了这些病毒,这些技术很耗时,昂贵的,需要训练有素的人力资源。基于等离子体超材料的生物传感器可能为低成本快速病毒检测铺平道路。所以这篇评论详细讨论了,等离子体和基于超材料的病毒生物传感器的最新发展,病毒颗粒和抗原检测以及该领域未来的研究方向。
