Relative analytical sensitivity of donor nucleic acid amplification technology screening and diagnostic real‐time polymerase chain reaction assays for detection of Zika virus RNA

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND Zika virus (ZIKV) has spread rapidly in the Pacific and throughout the Americas and is associated with severe congenital and adult neurologic outcomes. Nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) assays were developed for diagnostic applications and for blood donor screening on high‐throughput NAT systems. We distributed blinded panels to compare the analytical performance of blood screening relative...
