Abstract
The swift and precise identification of viral pathogens plays a pivotal role in epidemic containment and public health protection. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the application of magnetic nanomaterials (MNMs) in the epidemiological research field is becoming increasingly widespread. MNMs have emerged as powerful tools in virus detection, prevention, and treatment. Their unique magnetic properties, excellent stability, good biocompatibility, high specific surface area, and ease of functionalization make them highly suitable for these applications. These characteristics also provide new ideas and innovative methods for combating viruses. This mini-review highlights the recent advancements in applying MNMs for virus detection. It focuses on their roles in magnetic nanoparticle biosensing technology, magnetic immunoassay/fluorescence and luminescence enhanced detection, multifunctional nanocarriers and electrochemical catalytic signal amplification. The review also covers innovations in colorimetric and thermosensitive sensing. We also explored the obstacles and potential advancements of MNMs in this research area.
