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

The plasma virome of febrile adult Kenyans shows frequent parvovirus B19 infections and a novel arbovirus (Kadipiro virus).

Journal of General Virology, 2016
Viral nucleic acids present in the plasma of 498 Kenyan adults with unexplained fever were characterized by metagenomics analysis of 51 sample pools. The highest to lowest fraction of plasma pools was positive for parvovirus B19 (75 %), pegivirus C (GBV ...

How do I interpret transfusion transmissible infectious disease testing in a low‐risk donor population?

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood donors represent a unique population. Pre‐donation screening questions, donor self‐deferral, and temporary deferral and re‐testing of repeat reactive donors result in lower prevalence of infectious disease compared to the general population.
