Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV)1, Zika virus (ZIKV), yellow fever virus, chikungunya virus, and Mayaro virus are medically important arboviruses that cause millions of infections annually in many countries. The clinical diagnosis of these viruses is difficult because of cross-reactivity in some serological tests and requires the development of new diagnostic technologies. In this study, the effectiveness of functionalization methodologies of gold nanorods with specific anti-DENV and anti-flavivirus antibodies was investigated to test the ability of this technology to detect viral particles. Gold nanorods were synthesized, functionalized to 4 mM polyethyleneimine, conjugated with 0.4 μg/mL of monoclonal antibodies against flavivirus, and incubated with different amounts of virus. Viral particles were detected by reading the surface plasmon resonance localized in the UV-Vis scanning spectrometer. Detection of DENV2 and ZIKV was performed in diluted human serum and macerated mosquitoes with a detection limit of 100 PFU/mL for both. Thus, gold nanorods can be used to improve flavivirus diagnostics, making the development of new diagnostic tests faster and more precise than existing techniques and enabling studies of virology vigilance in mosquitoes.

Key content
- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
