With the continuous development of emerging technologies,the application of sensor technology and artificial intelli-gence technology has brought convenient,fast and accurate advantages to pathogen detection.However,there is a lack of overall research on pathogen detection technology,as well as a summary study on sensor technology and artificial intelligence technology.A review of pathogen detection technologies was presented,including traditional cultivation techniques,molecular detec-tion techniques,and immune detection techniques.The focus was on summarizing pathogen detection methods based on sensors and artificial intelligence image recognition techniques,and introducing their respective advantages and characteristics,in order to gain a clearer understanding of the advantages of various pathogen detection technologies and to gain an understanding of the future development direction of pathogen detection technologies.
