A method for early identification of influenza virions that could offer point-of-care screening by non-specialised healthcare professionals has been developed by researchers led by Osaka University. The team utilised AI and a nanopore sensor able to single out single influenza virus particles. In the study, published in Nature Communications, they used an AI-enabled nanopore sensor capable of detecting individual viruses with high accuracy at low cost.
