Abstract
Microfluidic techniques are emerging as cost-efficient and disposable tools for rapid diagnosis of viral infection. This chapter reviews the conventional and microfluidic methods for viral detection and highlights the critical need for point-of-care (POC) and inexpensive diagnostics. This chapter includes several examples of microfluidic devices used for selective and sensitive viral detection based on immunoassays of virus-related antigens or antibodies, nucleic acid detection, and flow cytometry. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future trends in detection, diagnosis, and assessment of viral infection by microfluidic tools.
