Data are presented as median CHIKV copy number (IQR) and were compared among localities by Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U test for post hoc pairwise comparisons. CHIKV = chikungunya virus; IQR = interquartile range.

*

Median with different superscripts (i.e., a and b) within the same column indicates significant difference (P < 0.05).
