Diagnostic Accuracy of Real Time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for Chikungunya Virus Detection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus that causes an acute febrile illness with intense muscle and joint pain, with the possibility of progressing to a chronic or neurological stage. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis with the aim of evaluating the accuracy of real‐time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain ...

Donor management implications for high‐sensitivity detection of low‐level malaria parasitemia in blood donor screening

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Transfusion‐transmitted malaria can occur when donors have unrecognized asymptomatic infection with submicroscopic parasitemia, highlighting the need to detect low‐level parasitemia in blood donor screening. However, these highly sensitive blood donor testing algorithms may refer donors to clinicians who use diagnostic algorithms ...

Protection of fundamental human rights by improving patient access to plasma‐derived therapies and donor health protection

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives The main use of plasma has evolved into market‐driven plasma‐derived medicinal products (PDMPs), but it still requires donors. Availability of PDMPs in access to care is often considered restrictively, in terms of volumes of plasma required for production and whether or not to remunerate donors.

Virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and transporter expression following maternal arbovirus infection

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Arboviruses induce virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and functional markers. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) exposure was associated with reduced syncytiotrophoblast and syncytial knot areas, increased cytotrophoblast proliferation (Ki‐67) and thyroid transporter (MCT8) expression, reduced protective (P‐gp and BCRP ...

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 560-567, September 2026.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the
