The recent events of outbreaks related to different respiratory viruses in the past few years, exponentiated by the pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), reported worldwide caused by SARS-CoV-2, raised a concern and increased the search for more information on viruses-based diseases. The detection of the virus with high specificity and sensitivity plays an important role for an accurate diagnosis. Despite the many efforts to identify the SARS-CoV-2, the diagnosis still relays on expensive and time-consuming analysis. A fast and reliable alternative is the use of low-cost biosensor for in loco detection. This review gathers important contributions in the biosensor area regarding the most current respiratory viruses, presents the advances in the assembly of the devices and figures of merit. All information is useful for further biosensor development for the detection of respiratory viruses, such as for the new coronavirus.

过去几年中，最近发生了与不同呼吸道病毒相关的疫情，其中由 SARS-CoV-2 引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 引起的大流行加剧了这一事件，引起了人们的关注，并加大了对病毒的搜寻力度。有关病毒性疾病的更多信息。高特异性、高灵敏度的病毒检测对于准确诊断具有重要作用。尽管为识别 SARS-CoV-2 做出了许多努力，但诊断仍然依赖于昂贵且耗时的分析。一种快速可靠的替代方案是使用低成本生物传感器进行本地检测。这篇综述收集了生物传感器领域有关最新呼吸道病毒的重要贡献，介绍了设备组装和品质因数方面的进展。所有信息都有助于进一步开发用于检测呼吸道病毒（例如新型冠状病毒）的生物传感器。
