Abstract

Influenza viruses continue to threaten human life, causing considerable damage socially and economically. To reduce influenza-related morbidity and mortality, there is an immediate requirement to develop efficient and effective tools to detect the virus. Several methods are currently employed for diagnosing influenza infections in humans, including viral culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunoassay. In addition, biosensors are being developed to improve the limitations of the conventional methods. In this article, we review the current progress in investigative techniques, including the development of biosensors having high sensitivity and selectivity and shorter detection time.
