The chikungunya virus (CHIKV), transmitted by mosquitos, induces severe symptoms such as joint pain, headaches, and exhaustion, necessitating swift diagnosis and intervention. In this investigation, the transfer matrix method is employed to enhance virus detection using a ternary photonic crystal (PC) biosensor across normal and infected blood constituents—plasma, platelets, red blood cells, and uric acid. These components possess distinctive refractive indices crucial for the biosensor’s selective CHIKV detection. A peak sensitivity of |
