Crispr-cas biosensing for rapid detection of viral infection.

With the frequent outbreaks of viral diseases globally, accurate and rapid diagnosis of viral infections is of significant importance for disease prevention and control. The CRISPR-Cas combined biosensing strategy, as an emergent nucleic acid detection technology, exhibits notable advantages including high specificity, elevated sensitivity, operational simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, thereby demonstrating significant potential in the domain of rapid viral diagnostics. This paper summarizes the principles of the CRISPR-Cas system, the novel biotechnologies, and the latest research progress in virus detection using the combined biosensing strategy. Additionally, this paper discusses the challenges faced by CRISPR-Cas biosensing strategies and outlines future development directions, which provides a reference for further research and clinical applications in the rapid diagnosis of viral infections.
