Biotechnological tools in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of pandemics

Abstract:

Pandemics are considered as an emerging public health problem worldwide, which in addition to being characterized by high rates of morbidity and mortality cause conflicts in social, economic and political aspects. Biotechnological tools, for their part, have evolved according to technological-scientific advance, which has allowed optimizing diagnostic methods with high sensitivity and specificity; in addition to improving the development of biological products for the prevention and therapy of diseases. The objective of this review is to identify the performance of biotechnological tools in the diagnosis, therapeutic and prophylactic treatment against pathogens that cause pandemic diseases throughout history, through the collection of scientific information. Finally, with this study it was possible to establish that tools and products of biotechnological origin have constituted an fundamental role in the control of pandemics through constant innovation that has allowed achieving efficient results in both diagnosis and treatment.
