Abstract
Infectious diseases are still a burden in the global healthcare sector. As per the WHO report, millions of people get affected annually at a worldwide level. An early diagnostic is a critical step in the prevention of their spread. The demand for point-of-care diagnostics of deadly diseases has increased significantly. From the past decades, several technologies have been developed for the diagnosis of these diseases. Among these, paper-based microfluidic devices present a unique opportunity for point-of-care diagnostic of various infectious diseases due to their simplicity, affordability, ease of fabrication, rapid detection, robustness, sensitivity and low limits of detection. As compared to laboratory-based diagnostics, the paper-based platform provides a cost-effective solution which plays a significant role in developing countries with limited resource settings. This chapter presents a brief overview of recent developments in paper microfluidic-based technology for the detection of various infectious diseases.
