Abstract
Nanobodies (Nbs) show promise in combating arboviruses. Their small size and stability enable blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, cryptic epitope binding, and reduced antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). This forum highlights Nb advantages, challenges, and innovative delivery methods, emphasizing their transformative potential in arbovirus therapeutics and diagnostics.
