Environmental Monitoring

This chapter explores the applications of sensor technologies for virus detection in environmental monitoring and wildlife surveillance. It investigates the use of various sensor types, including electrochemical, optical, and molecular biosensors, in detecting viral pathogens in air, water, and wildlife habitats. The chapter emphasizes the importance of early and accurate virus detection to prevent outbreaks and protect public health. It also addresses the challenges and future directions of sensor-based virus detection, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, the development of portable and cost-effective sensors, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and global surveillance networks.
