Modeling the West Nile virus transfusion transmission risk in a nonoutbreak country associated with traveling donors

Abstract: Background: West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus and transfusion transmission (TT) has been demonstrated. The European Union and neighboring countries experience an annual transmission season. Study Design and Methods: We developed a novel probabilistic model to estimate the WNV TT risk in Australia attributable to returned donors who had travelled to the European Union and neighboring countries during the 2018. We estimated weekly WNV TT risks in Australia for each outbreak country and the cumulati… Show more

“…In this study, we have modified a previously published risk model 14 to estimate the WNV TT risk in Australia associated with WNV outbreaks in the US. Our results demonstrate that the estimated WNV TT risk in Australia associated with the 2018 transmission season in the US was very small.…”

“…A third, and simpler, strategy to manage the WNV TT risk in Australia associated with outbreaks in the US would be to remove current restrictions on donors returning from the US and perform ongoing surveillance with a predefined number of total reported WNND disease cases in the US, based on a predefined level of risk in Australia, as a trigger for implementing risk modeling in Australia 14,22 …”
