Serological survey of Leishmaniainfection in blood donors in Salvador, Northeastern Brazil

30 Jul 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Visceral Leishmaniasis is endemic to Brazil, where it is caused by Leishmania infantum (syn. Leishmania chagasi). Following parasite inoculation, individuals may experience asymptomatic infection, raising the possibility of parasite transmission through the transfusion of contaminated blood products. In the present work, we evaluated the prevalence of asymptomatic Leishmania infection among blood...
