The involvement of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins in the infection of H1N1 is essential for the virus reproduction, and a more specific mechanism is discussed below.
In the SensUs Competition, a saliva based test will be developed. Moreover, SensUs strives to develop sensors that provide results within 5 minutes and that are as sensitive as possible. '''The SensUs Competition aims to innovate the field of influenza biosensing by using saliva as a matrix, by improving the speed of the test, and by targeting a high sensitivity.'''
