Abstract

Abstract Emerging zoonotic pathogens represent an escalating threat to global health, underscoring the need for rapid and effective testing strategies. Electrochemical biosensors offer a promising solution for point-of-care testing, enabling sensitive and real-time detection of these pathogens. A major challenge in biosensor technology is biofouling, caused by nonspecific adsorption in complex matrices, which compromises sensor reliability. This study reports a biofouling-resistant electrochemical capacitive biosensor (ECB) capable of rapid (
