This article introduces the use of graphene-based biosensors for detecting the dengue virus and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of this technology.
Every year, the dengue virus and its principal mosquito vector, Aedes sp., have caused massive outbreaks, primarily in equatorial countries. The pre-existing techniques available for dengue detection are expensive and require trained personnel. Graphene and its derivatives have remarkable properties of electrical and thermal conductivity, and are flexible, light, and biocompatible, making them ideal platforms for biosensor development. The incorporation of these materials, along with appropriate nanomaterials, improves the quality of detection methods. Graphene can help overcome the difficulties associated with conventional techniques. In this review, we have given comprehensive details on current graphene-based diagnostics for dengue virus detection. We have also discussed state-of-the-art biosensing technologies and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the same.
