Description
Piya Rajendra leads a 2026 survey of how blood services in many lands guard donations against mosquito- and tick-borne viruses, which can threaten transfusion safety as infections spread. Twenty-three responses from twenty-one countries, covering nearly thirty million donations in 2024, described travel deferrals, screening, and pathogen reduction practice.
Every service used travel-based deferral of donors, while only half used pathogen reduction, mostly for selected products. Just nine respondents screened donations for any such virus, all for West Nile virus, and no transfusion-transmitted cases were reported that year. The patchwork shows wide global variation and a thin screening base against future virus threats.
