“…The risk ratio of each threat agent is given not only by infection dose, but also by the natural propagation pathway, aerosol or water stability, and the possibility of spore formation in the case of bacteria [ 9 ]. In particular, biological threat agents obtain toxic substances that are relatively easy and inexpensive, and they can easily spread and cause fear and panic beyond real physical damage [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Sensors are excellent options owing to their ability to figure out a large number of problems and challenges in several areas, including homeland security, defense, medicine, pharmacology, industry, environment, agriculture, food safety, and so on. Plasmonic sensors are used as detection devices that have important properties, such as rapid recognition, real-time analysis, no need labels, sensitive and selective sensing, portability, and, more importantly, simplicity in identifying target analytes. This review summarizes the state-of-art molecular recognition of biological and chemical threat agents. For this purpose, the principle of the plasmonic sensor is briefly explained and then the use of plasmonic sensors in the monitoring of a broad range of biological and chemical threat agents is extensively discussed with different types of threats according to the latest literature. A conclusion and future perspectives are added at the end of the review.
