Abstract :
This document present an overview of the use of microarray technology, quantum dots, nanowires and carbon nanotubes to detect pathogens, in particular encephalic and hemorrhagic viruses. The relevance and challenges in the development of detection nanosystems and their integration with computational analysis tools and viral evolutionary genomics techniques are highlighted.
