Plasmodium falciparum Parasites With Histidine‐Rich Protein 2 (pfhrp2) and pfhrp3 Gene Deletions in Frontier Endemic Regions of Brazilian Amazon

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies reporting deletions of the pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes in P. falciparum populations in various malaria‐endemic countries, including countries bordering Brazil, are increasing. Individuals infected with P. falciparum carrying deletions of the pfhrp2/3 genes may yield false‐negative results in Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) based on the ...

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 ...

Public awareness and knowledge of blood donation eligibility and deferral criteria: Fostering a culture of donation and advancing equity

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In Canada, blood operators permanently defer individuals with a history of malaria to prevent transfusion‐transmitted malaria. While protective, this policy raises equity concerns, particularly for individuals requiring frequent transfusions, including those living with sickle cell disease.

Budget impact of implementing universal Plasmodium NAT screening in the blood transfusion system in the US

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood donor deferral for malaria risk relies exclusively on responses to self‐reported questionnaires. This study evaluated the economic impact of introducing Plasmodium nucleic acid testing (NAT) as a universal screening strategy in the United States.

The commercialization of “unvaccinated” blood: A cross‐sectional analysis of organizations marketing services based on donor COVID‐19 vaccination status

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Requests for blood from donors not vaccinated against COVID‐19 persist despite evidence that donor vaccination does not affect transfusion recipients. We characterized organizations marketing services based on donor vaccination status.
