Preliminary survey of dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses by nucleic acid test in blood donors in Shenzhen, China
The positive rate of acute infections by DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV in blood donors in arbovirus non-endemic areas in southern China is extremely low, and it is suggested to perform nucleic acid screening only during outbreaks or epidemics. This study not only provides preliminary data on the prevalence and risk assessment of acute infections by DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV in the blood donor population in Shenzhen, but also equips the technical reserve capacity for emergency screening during unexpected outbreaks of arbovirus epidemics in the region in order to ensure blood safety.
