Table 4.

Selected metabolites from papers on chikungunya virus (CHIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Zika virus (ZIKV). Metabolites generally increased in disease are in red, decreased metabolites are in blue. Black metabolites have mixed results in the corresponding publication. If not specified, LC was reversed-phase. Standard single letter amino acid abbreviations are used.

Publication Arboviruses Studied Sample Source Technique Comparison Selected Metabolites (down in Disease, up in Disease) Ref. No.
