Improvement of Sensitivity and Speed of Virus Detection Methods

Abstract

The influence of viral diseases on society varies depending on the viral species. In a global society, they can cause widespread and severe damage. Taking more effective measures to prevent the spread of infection, highly sensitive virus detection methods are required. We have to detect a small amount of viruses, even in the biological fluid of patients in the early stage of the disease or environmental samples. This paper describes an overview of various virus detection technologies and then refers to the performance and current ability of virus detection technologies required from the perspective of environmental infection risk assessment.
