Our atmosphere is constantly changing and new pathogens are erupting now and then and the existing pathogens are mutating continuously. Some pathogens become so deadly that they put the whole technological advancement of humans under question-such as the case of SARS-CoV-2, however, this is not the only time. SARS-CoV-2 has become a pandemic but within this very decade several other deadly virus outbreaks were witnessed by mankind like Zika virus, Ebola virus, MERS etc. Though conventional techniques of virus detection have succeeded in detecting these viruses to some extent, they are time consuming, expensive and require a lot of manpower. Plasmonic biosensors can become a promising alternative to the conventional techniques . So this review discusses in details the latest development in plasmonic biosensors for virus, viral particles and antigen detection and the future direction of research in this field. Detection of SARS-CoV-2 is given emphasis in this review as rapid, reliable and accurate detection is necessary to put an end to the ongoing pandemic .

Some of these pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, become so deadly that they put the whole technological advancement of healthcare under challenge. Within this very decade several other deadly virus outbreaks were witnessed by humans such as Zika virus, Ebola virus, MERS-coronavirus etc. Though conventional techniques have succeeded in detecting these viruses to some extent, these techniques are time-consuming, costly, and require trained human-resources. Plasmonic metamaterial-based biosensors might pave the way to low-cost rapid virus detection . So this review discusses in details the latest development in plasmonics and metamaterial-based biosensors for virus, viral particles and antigen detection and the future direction of research in this field. Emergence of quantum properties in biosensing, application of machine learning, artificial intelligence and novel materials in biosensing is also discussed in brief .
