Hubei University of Chinese Medicine Researchers Have Published New Data on Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (A portable transistor immunosensor for fast identification of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus).

Researchers from Hubei University of Chinese Medicine have developed a portable immunosensor for the rapid identification of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The widespread distribution of PEDV has caused significant losses to the global pig farming industry, necessitating the need for accurate and timely tests. The developed biosensor, which utilizes a unique PEDV spike protein-specific monoclonal antibody, enables highly sensitive and specific detection of the virus. The portable sensing platform has the potential for large-scale surveillance in pig breeding facilities and could be used for point-of-care applications. [Extracted from the article]
