Figure Lengend Snippet: District-wise distribution of CHIKV cases based on ELISA (3A) and RT-PCR(3B). In this figure, we have analysed the district-wise prevalence rate of CHIKV by considering the total number of CHIKV sample tested and the samples showed positive results in both ELISA and RT-PCR assay. The samples showed ELISA positive results for CHIKV were not considered further for RT-PCR assay.
Article Snippet: All the assay was performed and optical density (OD) was measured at 450nm using the kit specific protocol provided by the manufacturer with the help of semi-automatic ELISA micro-plate reader and washer made by Thermo Fisher Scientific (India).
