Electrochemical biosensors offer a low-cost, miniaturizable, and reliable alternative to traditional methods like ELISA and Western blot for the detection of avian influenza virus.
Electrochemical biosensors represent a promising, low-cost, and miniaturizable technology for the detection of avian influenza virus compared to traditional methods.
Promising for low-cost avian influenza detection; extends biosensor literature but leaves open clinical validation.
Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as reliable analytical devices suitable for pathogen detection. Low cost, small sample requirement and possibility of miniaturization justifies their increasing development. Thus, we report in this review on the state of the art of avian influenza virus detection with genosensors and immunosensors working by an electrochemical mode. Their working principles focusing on the physical properties of the transducer, the immobilization chemistry, as well as new trends including incorporation of nanoparticles will be presented. Then, we critically review the detection of avian influenza virus in the complex matrices that use electrochemical biosensors and compare them with traditionally applied methods such as ELISA or Western blot.

Grabowska et al. (2014) conducted a review in Avian influenza virus. Electrochemical biosensors vs. Traditionally applied methods (ELISA or Western blot) was evaluated on Detection of avian influenza virus. Electrochemical biosensors offer a low-cost, miniaturizable, and reliable alternative to traditional methods like ELISA and Western blot for the detection of avian influenza virus.
