Lateral Flow Biosensors (LFBs) for Rapid Detection of Infectious Diseases and Saliva as a Diagnostic Biofluid
This review highlights the importance and recent development of lateral flow biosensors (LFBs) for rapid detection of infectious diseases. The LFBs could provide better disease prognosis, diagnosis, community surveillance and continuous care of patients and useful for point-of-care (POC) testing. This review also discusses the alternative sampling using saliva for sensitive and specific detection of infectious agents, indicating the effectiveness of saliva as a noninvasive diagnostic biofluid for diagnosis of infectious diseases.
