*, P < 0.05, with statistical significance.

b

The cutoff for DENV-2/3 VLP is based on our previous publications (13, 37).

c

This was a control serum panel, including 10 yellow fever IgG-positive specimens (17D vaccinated), two St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) IgM-positive specimens, 10 chikungunya virus IgM-positive specimens, 8 nonarboviral patients, and 46 normal human serum specimens from the CDC blood bank collection.
