Abstract excerpt

Direct viral DNA or RNA detection by genomic amplification methods should contribute to the improvement of blood supply safety by reducing the pre-seroconversion window period. However, nucleic acid testing may not eliminate virus transmission from window period donations. Moreover, the virus subtype diversity has to be taken into account for the choice of nucleic amplification assays. Technology for nucleic acid...
