Development of an automated plaque-counting program for the quantification of the Chikungunya virus

Abstract Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) induces a massive cytopathic effect (CPE) on various cell types. Therefore, the plaque assay, a CPE-based virus titration method, remains the gold standard for quantifying the infectious units of CHIKV. However, manual plaque counting is often a labor-intensive tas...
