Emerg. Infect. Dis. 15 (3): 469-471.

A preformulated chikungunya virus real-time reverse transcription–PCR, quality-confi rmed oligonucleotides, and noninfectious virus controls were distributed by the European Network for the Diagnosis of Imported Viral Diseases. An international profi ciency study with 31 participants demonstrated that ad hoc implementation of molecular diagnostics was feasible and successful.
