Biosensor as an alternative diagnostic method for rabies virus detection: A literature review

Abstract: Rabies virus as a neurotropic agent causes rabies in humans and animals. Rabies virus transmission usually occurs through direct contact with saliva of rabid animals. However, serological and molecular tests commonly are used in diagnosing rabies but all the detection methods of rabies have some limitations. It is necessary to develop a rapid, effective, and low‐cost biosensor as an alternative tool to detect rabies virus. In this review, we studied related biosensor researches to rabies virus detection for co… Show more

“…Currently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most widely used diagnostic test. Although it is an effective tool for the detection of etiological agents of diseases, and can also detect different types of viruses, it has some disadvantages; for example, it is a complicated and costly procedure (Rahman et al, 2016; Zandi, Zandi, et al, 2021). Therefore, it is necessary to develop an easy to use, economical, rapid, and sensitive method.…”

“…Biosensors provide realtime detection of rabies viral antigens, RNA, or proteins, which is critical in the context of post-exposure prophylaxis decisions. The rapid diagnosis of rabies reduces the risk of severe neurological complications and ensures that individuals receive the necessary post-exposure prophylaxis 91. Hnaien et al devised an immunosensor that utilised a functionalised gold electrode for the detection of the rabies antigen.…”

“…Virus detection is the key step to find, prevent, and control epidemic situations. At present, virus detection methods mainly include virus isolation and culture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, electron microscopy, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, etc. However, these methods rely heavily on complex and expensive instruments and professionals. With the continuous outbreak of the virus, it is easy to cause a high concentration of people to be examined, and there is a potential risk of secondary spread, which makes medical staff overwhelmed and brings a heavy economic burden to society.…”
