Microcontact printing of lectin self-assembled monolayers for arbovirus detection.

Arboviruses significantly burden public health in Brazil, constituting a constant challenge for health authorities. The diagnosis and, consequently, clinical management and the reporting of arbovirus infections in regions where multiple arboviruses coexist are complex processes. Herein, we report the development of a new electrochemical biosensor based on Concanavalin A (ConA) to identify carbohydrate patterns in the viral structure of Dengue 3 (DENV-3), Zika (ZIKV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses.
