Dengue detection: Advances and challenges in diagnostic technology

Abstract

Virus-borne infectious illnesses may quickly escalate into unpleasant pandemics, wreaking havoc on the global populace and disrupting daily life. As a result, these factors influence the global economy, resulting in joblessness, physical, psychological, emotional stress, and posing a threat to human life. Dengue disease is known as one of the most dangerous illnesses for humans. A DENV infection may have no symptoms or symptoms that are similar to those of other viral infections. As a result, early detection of this virus infection is more important to track disease spread and protect society from its harmful effects. This article provides an overview of dengue disease, the working principles, the significance of the various conventional and biosensor detection strategies, the benefits and problematic conditions of the reported methods. The present hurdles of transferring laboratory research into real-world technological implementations and the future possibilities for detecting devices for viral diagnosis are highlighted in this study. © 2021 The Author(s)
