Swift Detection of S. japonicum Antibodies with Miniaturized Biomedical Sensor

Abstract

Rubina Eissa*

In regions endemic to S. japonicum, a parasitic flatworm causing schistosomiasis, timely and accurate detection of antibodies against the parasite is crucial for effective disease management and control. This study presents a novel approach to rapid and efficient antibody detection using a miniaturized biomedical sensor. The sensor is designed to specifically identify S. japonicum antibodies in human serum samples. By employing advanced microfabrication techniques, the sensor achieves enhanced sensitivity and specificity while minimizing sample and reagent requirements. The detection process is optimized for speed, providing results within a significantly reduced timeframe compared to traditional detection methods. This innovative technology holds great promise for point-of-care diagnostics in resource-limited settings, enabling timely interventions and contributing to the global efforts to combat schistosomiasis. The miniaturized biomedical sensor's potential to revolutionize the detection of antibodies opens avenues for early diagnosis and effective disease surveillance, ultimately improving patient outcomes and public health outcomes.
