Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid and accurate detection of viruses and bacteria is crucial for infectious disease prevention, food safety, and environmental monitoring. However, current detection technologies face challenges such as insufficient sensitivity and specificity, sample complexity, high costs, operational convenience, and limitations in on-site applications. So, this special issue “Sensors for Detection of Virus and Bacteria” aims to explore the latest advancements in biosensing technology for virus and bacteria detection. The scope of submissions includes, but is not limited to:
- Biosensors based on enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acid aptamers, CRISPR, etc.;
- Electrochemical, biophotonic, raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and other biosensing technologies;
- Applications of microfluidic chips, bio-MEMS, and nanomaterials in biosensing;
- Biosensors integrating isothermal amplification, PCR and derived molecular detection methods;
- Wearable, portable, and label-free biosensing technologies for rapid on-site detection;
- Biosensor technologies combined with AI, big data, and the Internet of Things.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
