The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) has witnessed a rapid and global proliferation since its early identification in patients with severe pneumonia in Wuhan, China. As of 27th May 2020, 2019-nCoV cases have risen to >5 million, with confirmed deaths of 350,000. However, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) diagnostic and treatment measures are yet to be fully unraveled, given the novelty of this particular coronavirus. Therefore, existing antiviral agents used for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were repurposed for COVID-19, taking their biological features into consideration. This study provides a concise review of the current and emerging detection and supervision technologies for SARS-CoV-2, which is the viral etiology of COVID19, and their performance characteristics, with emphasis on the novel Nano-based diagnostic tests (protein corona sensor array and magnetic levitation) and treatment measures (treatment protocols based on nano-silver colloids) for COVID-19.
自 2019 年新型冠状病毒(2019-nCoV;严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2))在中国武汉的重症肺炎患者中早期鉴定以来,其迅速在全球范围内传播。截至 2020 年 5 月 27 日,2019-nCoV 病例已上升至超过 500 万例,确诊死亡人数为 35 万。然而,由于这种特定冠状病毒的新颖性,冠状病毒疾病(COVID-19)的诊断和治疗措施尚未完全阐明。因此,考虑到严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)和中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)的现有抗病毒药物被重新用于 COVID-19,同时考虑到它们的生物学特征。本研究简要综述了目前和新兴的 SARS-CoV-2 检测和监测技术,以及它们的性能特征,重点介绍了新型基于纳米的诊断测试(蛋白冠传感器阵列和磁悬浮)和 COVID-19 的治疗措施(基于纳米银胶体的治疗方案)。
