“…As a first step towards the development of alternative PoC devices for diagnosis, a new diagnostic platform based on superparamagnetic microbeads coated with recombinant antigens and fluorescent (FMBIA) or electrochemical (EMBIA) detection was recently developed (Cortina et al, 2016). The EMBIA platform, including antigen-functionalized magnetic microbeads, disposable electrochemical cells-electrode cartridges and a portable potentiostat, was evaluated for serodiagnosis of human and cattle infectious diseases.…”

“…The EMBIA platform, including antigen-functionalized magnetic microbeads, disposable electrochemical cells-electrode cartridges and a portable potentiostat, was evaluated for serodiagnosis of human and cattle infectious diseases. In the particular case of Chagas disease, a more extensive validation was performed showing that the EMBIA platform displayed an excellent diagnostic performance almost indistinguishable from the well-established ELISA methods (Cortina et al, 2016). …”

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a life-long and debilitating illness of major significance throughout Latin America, and an emergent threat to global public health. Being a neglected disease, the vast majority of Chagasic patients have limited access to proper diagnosis and treatment, and there is only a marginal investment into R&D for drug and vaccine development. In this context, identification of novel biomarkers able to transcend the current limits of diagnostic methods surfaces as a main priority in Chagas disease applied research. The expectation is that these novel biomarkers will provide reliable, reproducible and accurate results irrespective of the genetic background, infecting parasite strain, stage of disease, and clinical-associated features of Chagasic populations. In addition, they should be able to address other still unmet diagnostic needs, including early detection of congenital T. cruzi transmission, rapid assessment of treatment efficiency or failure, indication/prediction of disease progression and direct parasite typification in clinical samples. The lack of access of poor and neglected populations to essential diagnostics also stress the necessity of developing new methods operational in Point-of-Care (PoC) settings. In summary, emergent diagnostic tests integrating these novel and tailored tools should provide a significant impact on the effectiveness of current intervention schemes and on the clinical management of Chagasic patients. In this chapter, we discuss the present knowledge and possible future steps in Chagas disease diagnostic applications, as well as the opportunity provided by recent advances in high-throughput methods for biomarker discovery.

A mathematical modelling of diagnostic biosensors system at three basic types of enzyme kinetics is discussed in the presence of diffusion. Enzyme kinetics is adopted to be first order, Michaelis-Menten and ping-pong mechanism. In this paper, approximate analytical solutions are obtained for the non-linear equations under steady-state conditions by using the new Homotopy perturbation method. Simple and closed forms of analytical expressions for concentrations of substrate, product and co-substrate and corresponding current response have been derived for all possible values of parameters. Furthermore, the numerical simulation of the problem is also reported here by using Matlab program. Good agreement between analytical and numerical results is noted.
