The authors wish to make the following correction to Table 1 of this paper [1]:

Table 1.

RT-rtPCR assays for dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) currently used by the Public Health Virology Laboratory (PHV).

Virus RT-rtPCR/RT-PCR a,b Genome Region c,d,e,f
DENV 1–4 DU5 MGB2017 a Capsid peptide coding region
DENV-1 DENV-1 TM2017 a 3′UTR
DENV-2 DENV-2 MGB a 3′UTR
DENV-3 DENV-3 TM2017 a 3′UTR
DENV-4 DENV-4 TM2017 a 3′UTR
DENV 1–4 DENV 1–4 nested b [34] C-prM
ZIKV ZIKV Pacific E a [11] E
ZIKV ZIKV Pacific NS1 a [11] NS1
CHIKV CHIKV MA a [35] E1

a RT-rtPCR assay; b RT-PCR assay; c 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR); d capsid-premembrane (C-prM); e envelope (E); f envelope 1 (E1).

The DENV 1–4 DU5 MGB2017 real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-rtPCR) assay should state that it is designed in the Capsid peptide coding region under the genome region column, and not the 3’UTR.

This change has no material impact upon the conclusions of our paper. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by this change.
