Description
Transmissible illnesses brought on by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites are referred to as infectious diseases. These can escalate into undesirable pandemic circumstances that disrupt both regular life functions and the world's population. These in turn have an effect on the current global economy, lead to joblessness, induce stress on the body, mind, and emotions, and put human survival in jeopardy. Consequently, in order to avert worldwide life impairment, prompt discovery, treatment, isolation, and control of the spread of pandemic infectious diseases within the town of origin are essential. As of right now, the World Health Organization (WHO) lists 12 infectious diseases that can be fatal: COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human papilloma virus (HPV), influenza, hepatitis, herpes simplex virus (HSV), Zika virus, chikungunya, dengue, and rota virus. Biosensors are becoming more and more potent instruments for diagnosing infectious diseases. Analytical tools that may transform biochemical data into detectable signals such as optical, electrical, magnetic, or thermal signals are referred to as biosensors. The growing need for highly selective, low-concentration sensing of a wide variety of chemicals has spurred the creation of sophisticated instruments known as nanobiosensors, which combine biological components, advanced materials, and nanoscale materials. The design, principle, underlying reasoning, receptor, and molecular features of sensor systems with a focus on the recent COVID-19 pandemic are all covered in this chapter. For critical comparison, electrochemical biosensor systems which included a variety of sophisticated nanostructures like semiconductors, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, polymeric nanocomposites, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, and combinations of biomolecules reported recently were specifically divided into distinct sub-sections. This chapter focuses on the difficulties that exist today in converting lab research into practical device applications, as well as the potential for the future and the commercialization of electrochemical diagnostic devices for the detection of corona viruses. It is anticipated that the background information and overall advancements presented in this study will be instructive for sensor researchers and will make it easier to design and fabricate electrochemical sensors for viruses that pose a threat to human life, with a wider range of applications for any desired pathogen. 2025 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
