Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid and accurate diagnosis of viruses is crucial to prevent and control the spread of pathogenic viruses. Conventional methods such as real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blots suffer limitations that require time-consuming processing and trained technical operators and expensive equipment. Immunosensors are affinity-based biosensing devices that can overcome previously mentioned barriers and rapidly detect viruses due to their high specificity and label-free detection.
Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers and review articles focusing on immunosensors for virus detection, which includes but is not limited to:
- Development of novel immunosensor designs for virus detection;
- Development of point-of-care viral sensors that provide miniaturization, high sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and portability;
- Integration in other bionanoparticles, including but not limited to extracellular vesicles, lipoproteins, ferritin, magnetite, and virus-like particle detection;
- Development of novel viral enrichment methods to improve sensitivity of typical analytical techniques.

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. Chemosensors 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 2700 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.
