Advancements in Diagnostic Tools for Viral Infections: Traditional Methods to Next-generation Sequencing

Kristina Berggren

Advancements in diagnostic tools for viral infections have significantly improved our ability to detect and characterize viral pathogens, facilitating
more accurate diagnosis and timely intervention. This review provides an overview of the transition from traditional methods to Next-Generation
Sequencing (NGS) in the field of viral diagnostics. Traditional diagnostic techniques, such as viral culture, antigen detection assays, and Polymerase
Chain Reaction (PCR), have long been the cornerstone of viral infection diagnosis but are often limited by sensitivity, specificity, and the ability to
detect novel or emerging pathogens. In contrast, NGS offers unparalleled capabilities for comprehensive viral genome analysis, enabling rapid
identification of known viruses, discovery of novel pathogens, and characterization of viral diversity within populations. This review discusses the
principles, advantages, and challenges associated with both traditional methods and NGS-based approaches, highlighting their respective roles
in clinical diagnostics, epidemiological surveillance, and outbreak investigation. Furthermore, it explores the potential impact of NGS technologies
on advancing our understanding of viral pathogenesis, evolution, and host-virus interactions, ultimately guiding the development of innovative
strategies for viral infection control and prevention.

Advancements in Diagnostic Techniques for Infectious Diseases: A Review

Katarzyna Potrawa

This review explores recent advancements in diagnostic techniques for infectious diseases, highlighting their impact on detection, treatment,
and prevention strategies. Infectious diseases pose significant global health challenges, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnostic methods
for timely intervention. Traditional diagnostic approaches often suffer from limitations such as lengthy turnaround times, low sensitivity, and the
need for specialized equipment and trained personnel. However, recent developments in molecular biology, nanotechnology, and digital health
have revolutionized diagnostic capabilities, enabling faster, more sensitive, and point-of-care testing options. This review provides an overview
of emerging diagnostic technologies, including nucleic acid amplification assays, biosensors, microfluidics, and smartphone-based platforms.
Furthermore, it discusses the potential implications of these advancements in improving disease surveillance, outbreak management, and
personalized treatment strategies. By critically assessing the strengths and limitations of current diagnostic methods, this review aims to inform
future research directions and foster the translation of innovative technologies into clinical practice.
