Advanced Biosensors for Virus Detection: Smart Diagnostics to Combat SARS-CoV-2

Advanced Biosensors for Virus Detection: Smart Diagnostics to Combat  Against the SARS-CoV2 Pandemic covers the development of biosensor-based  approaches for the diagnosis and prognosis of viral infections,  specifically coronaviruses. The book discusses wide-ranging topics of  available biosensor-based technologies and their application for early  viral detection. Sections cover the emergence of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and  SARS-CoV2, the global health response, the impact on affected  populations, state-of-the art biomarkers, and risk factors. Specific  focus is given to COVID-19, with coverage of genomic profiling, strain  variation and the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV2.

In addition, current  therapeutics, nano-abled advancements and challenges in the detection  of SARS-CoV2 and COVID-19 management are discussed, along with the role  of nanomaterials in the development of biosensors and how biosensors can  be scaled up for clinical applications and commercialization.
