  Bovine Viral Diarrheoa (BVD) is a worldwide disease with severe financial implications for the Bovine beef and dairy industries. A key challenge to BVD eradication is that the requirement to send samples to, and receive results from, specialized laboratories slows down the diagnostic process and leads to uncontrolled spread of the virus within a herd until diagnostic confirmation is received. Consequently, rapid identification of BVD is now critical for herd protection and prevention of costly herd outbreaks and new diagnostic devices, suitable for on-farm analysis, that deliver rapid and early identification of animal disease states, are required. We report, here, an electrochemical onchip fully integrated nanowire based immunosensor device for detection of BVD in serum. The capture biomolecule, BVD virus, is covalently immobilized via a carboxylic termin.. Read More»
