Viruses and pathogenic bacteria spread rapidly through the population via air, contaminated water food, body fluids, or close contact with infected individuals. They cause millions of deaths worldwide; a notable recent example is COVID-19 pandemic. Medical considerations are different for viral bacterial infections, it vital to distinguish them before starting any treatment plan, but viruses alike require rapid detection quantification methods. The early can minimize human health issues associated infections reduce their environmental, social, economic impacts. Quantum dots have recently attracted researchers’ attention as type fluorescent dye/tag signal amplifier biosensing applications due outstanding optical physicochemical properties. dot-based biosensors proven be reliable fast methods detecting viruses. mainly been utilized in electrochemical biosensor design pathogen imaging. Herein, we summarize developments quantum most commonly used transducers current designs involve fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, electrochemistry.
