Zika virus surveillance post‐epidemic in blood donors from São Paulo, Brazil 2016–2020

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Zika virus (ZIKV) is primarily transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, though transmission via blood transfusion has also been documented. During the 2015 ZIKV epidemic in Brazil, severe complications were observed in pregnant women, leading to fetal microcephaly. This study evaluated the persistence of ZIKV in

Hepatitis E virus screening in Irish blood donors: Seven years of individual donation nucleic acid testing reveals a frequent blood donor infection—but what is the risk?

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Screening blood donations for HEV RNA mitigates the risk of transfusion‐transmitted HEV infection (TT‐HEV), a recognised blood safety issue in Europe. This study reports the findings of government‐funded HEV RNA blood donation screening 2016–2022 and includes an estimate of residual risk. Method Donation samples were universally and
