Evaluating an EID threat to blood safety3 basic questions need to be answered:

Is it in the blood supply?

• Requires the agent have an asymptomatic or ‘silent’ phase

• Requires a way to measure the agent in donors during epidemics

• Estimation of donor risks: prevalence, incidence, duration of detection• Estimation of risk by blood component type

• Temperature, preparation, storage duration effects on infectivity?• Is antibody in the infected donor or co-transfused components protective?

Is it transfusion-transmitted and what is the risk?• Is transmission risk dependent on stage of infection or VL in the

donor/component• Do recipient antibodies from prior infection protect from TT

If transmissible by transfusion, does it have a clinical impact in transfused recipients?

• Is TT disease more or less severe than usual routes of infection

Reducing the Risk of Transfusion-Transmitted Infections

• Donor history• Donor (mini-medical) examination• Testing• Diversion Pouches• Leukoreduction• Post donation information• Donor deferral registries• Limit exposures to transfusion – appropriate indications

• Pathogen reduction/inactivation

• Monitor HBV, HCV and HIV in US blood donors by developing and maintaining a complete database including data from participating blood centers representing nearly 60% of the US blood supply

10Transfusion-Transmissible Infections Monitoring System

(TTIMS)

• Perform recency testing on HIV plasma samples from donors with HIV concordant positive donations

• Conduct viral genetic sequence analyses on plasma samples for HIV (NAT yield and seropositive), HCV (NAT yield) and HBV (NAT yield) positive blood donors to determine genotypes and drug resistance (where applicable) of donor infections.

• Lead and support collection and analysis of risk factor data in donors with confirmed infections (cases) and donors who test false positive (controls).

• Risk factors by sex, age groups, self-reported race/ethnicity, donation status, DHHS reporting regions

• Compare risk factor data to those obtained in the REDS-II Viral Marker Prevalence and Donor Risk Factor Study.

Zika virus (ZIKV)

• Arbovirus surveillance (Dick et al. 1952):

• Isolated from the blood of a sentinel rhesus monkey (placed in the forest in 1947)

• Isolated from a pool of Aedes africanus mosquitoes in Ziika forest, Uganda (1952)

• Humans:

• Serosurveillance: detection of neutralizing antibodies in human sera collected from East Africa (Smithburn et al. 1952)

• Isolated from a human in Nigeria in 1954

• First isolation of the virus itself from ZIKV-infected human (Simpson et al. 1964)

Graphic from PAHO Regional Report: April 27, 2017

Why ZIKV Transfusion Transmission Concerns?

• Up to 80% of ZIKV infections asymptomatic/illness is generally mild • public health surveillance based on clinical case reporting is insensitive

• ZIKV can result in severe congenital syndromes & Guillain-Barré syndrome

• ZIKV RNA detected in asymptomatic blood donors

• ZIKV transfusion transmission reported – 4 cases (Brazil); 3 donors

• ZIKV may persist in whole blood longer than plasma

• 1-3 months vs weeks (diagnostic assays)

• Unknown impact of travel/sexual contact

• ZIKV interventions are available

• 2 investigational screening assays on newly available platforms

• Licensed pathogen inactivation for plasma/platelets; investigational methods in development (red cells/whole blood)

• FDA classification as a Relevant Transfusion-Transmitted Infection

1. Testing whole blood extends detection period for diagnosis of clinical cases and monitoring pregnant women and travelers.

2. Impact on donation policy: to extend deferral period or consider NAT testing whole blood.3. Considerations for testing for solid organ, tissue and semen donations 4. IS RBC-ASSOCIATED VIRUS INFECTIOUS?

Chikungunya VirusMakonde language: “to dry up or be contorted”

Alphavirus

3 genotypes

• West African

• East/Central/Southern/East African (ESCA)

• Asian

Like dengue

• Man-mosquito-man transmission cycle

• Aedes aegypti is the traditional urban vector

• Also spread by Aedes albopictus

46

substantial morbidity and mortality:

• DENV 1990s S America and the Caribbean• WNV 1999 endemic now in the continental US• CHIKV in 2013 S America and the Caribbean• ZIKV emerged in March 2015 Brazil• YFV outbreak in Dec 2015 in Angola => DRC- Vaccination reserve depleted

- 20% standard vaccine dose used- Dec 2016 expanded to rural areas of Brazil; sylvatic cycle mosquitoes and NHPs; human incidental hosts=> Concern for adjacent large urban centers with unvaccinated populations

YFV-17D vaccine complicationsCDC, MMWR 2010;59:34-7

• Viremia detected 3-7 days post-vaccination

• Associated disease incidence 0.4/100,000 vaccine recipients

• Single TT-cluster

• 89 military trainees rec’d vaccine 4 days prior to donation

• Retrieval actions occurred; however, 3 platelets, 2 FFP and 1 pRBCs were transfused to 5 recipients

• 4 surviving recipients – no complications; 3 developed IgM suggesting TT of vaccine virus

Babesiosis

• Malaria-like illness caused by Babesia spp.

• Asymptomatic fatal• Non-specific symptoms (malaise, fever, etc.)• Hemolytic anemia• Onset 1-9 weeks after exposure

• General mortality 5-9%

• 21% immunocompromised

• At risk: infants, elderly, immunocompromised, asplenic, red cell disorders

• But risk groups not limited to above

• June 2012-Sept 2014 tested donations from 4 states (CT, MA, MN, WI) by investigational antibody (AFIA) and DNA (PCR)

• Determined parasite loads (qPCR) and infectivity (parasitemia in hamsters) • Followed donors for Ab/DNA clearance• Hemovigilance system used compared rates of TTB: screened vs unscreened blood

Possible Mitigation Strategies for TT-EIDs

Curtail donations in outbreak areas

Defer donors from areas experiencing outbreaks

Enhanced donor deferral

Enhanced post-donation notification

Temporary quarantine of donations with proactive post-donation call back

Serological screening

Nucleic Acid Amplification Technology (NAT) screening

Photochemical inactivation of platelets/plasma/(RBC)

Assessing the risk of transfusion-transmission for newly

discovered pathogens

Summary

• There is a continuing need to manage (prevent) transfusion-transmitted infections

• Testing has reduced residual risks to remarkably low levels• Testing approaches are not available for all of the known threats

• Infections continue to emerge at an alarming rate

• Technology can now identify more microbes than diseases• There is hope that threats can be anticipated

• Is there a solution?• Continued vigilance and potentially pathogen reduction/inactivation
