DNA-Based Nanobiosensor for the Colorimetric Detection of Dengue Virus Serotype 2 Synthetic Target Oligonucleotide.

ABSTRACT: Annually, the Philippines is burdened by a high number of infections and deaths due to Dengue. This disease is caused by the Dengue virus (DENV) and is transmitted from one human host to another by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Being a developing country, most of the high-risk areas in the Philippines are resource-limited and cannot afford equipment for detection and monitoring. Moreover, traditional clinical diagnoses of DENV infection are costly and time-consuming and require expertise. Hence, it is important to establish effective vector control and surveillance measures. In this study, we developed a DNA-based nanobiosensor for the colorimetric detection of Dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) synthetic target DNA (stDNA S2) using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). We successfully fun
