Performance evaluation of TaqMan™ Arbovirus Triplex Kit (ZIKV/DENV/CHIKV) for detection and differentiation of dengue and chikungunya viral RNA in serum samples of symptomatic patients
TaqMan™ Arbovirus Triplex Kit demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity (>93 %) for detecting circulating DENV and CHIKV strains. Multiplex PCR testing can improve case detection, surveillance, and public health responses while optimizing laboratory resources for outbreak control.
