seroepidemiology of htlv infection in sabzevar blood donors from 2007 to 2008

background: human t-lymphotropic virus (htlv), a retrovirus, is the causative agent of adult t-lymphocytic leukemia (atl) and tropical spastic paraparesia (tsp). htlv-1 is transmitted mainly through blood transfusion. sabzevar is an endemic region for htlv infection; hence it is essential to detect the prevalence of htlv1/2 infection in the blood donors of this city. materials and methods: in t...

IgG Against Dengue Virus in Healthy Blood Donors, Zanzibar, Tanzania

We conducted a seroprevalence survey among 500 healthy adult donors at Zanzibar National Blood Transfusion Services. Dengue virus IgG seroprevalence was 50.6% and independently associated with age and urban residence. These data will aid in building a surveillance, preparedness, and response plan for dengue virus infections in the Zanzibar Archipelago.

Seroprevalence of anti-HEV IgG in 182 Polish patients.

INTRODUCTION Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is an emergent disease in developed countries. HEV seroprevalence in such areas significantly exceeds values expected when one considers infection with this virus only as a problem restricted to classical endemic regions. To date, no related data are available in Poland. In this study we aimed to obtain HEV seroprevalence data and compare them with...

Seroepidemiology of infection with Toxoplasma gondii in healthy blood donors of Durango, Mexico

BACKGROUND Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection in blood donors could represent a risk for transmission in blood recipients. There is scarce information about the epidemiology of T. gondii infection in blood donors in Mexico. Therefore, we sought to determine the prevalence of T. gondii infection and associated socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics in a population of healthy blood...

Seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii Infection among Healthy Blood Donors in Taiwan

Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic, zoonotic pathogen with a worldwide distribution. There are large variations in the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in different regions of the world. Although toxoplasmosis became a notifiable communicable disease in Taiwan in 2007, little is known about its epidemiology among the general population. This cross-sectional study aimed to survey the ser...
