This review gives an overview of recent advances and new trends in biosensors for pesticide detection. Optical, electrochemical and piezoelectric biosensors have been reported based on the detection method. In this review biosensors have been classified according to the immobilized biorecognition element: enzymes, cells, antibodies and, more rarely, DNA. The use of tailor-designed biomolecules, such as aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers, is reviewed. Artificial Neural Networks, that allow the analysis of pesticide mixtures are also presented. Recent advances in the field of nanomaterials merit special mention. The incorporation of nanomaterials provides highly sensitive sens- ing devices allowing the efficient detection of pesticides. Keywords: Biosensors; Pesticides 1.

According to the signal trans- duction technique, biosensors are classified into electro- chemical, optical, piezoelectric and mechanical biosen- sors. Electrochemical transducers have been widely used in bi
