Investigation of malaria-positive blood donors in Brazil: development of a multiplex molecular assay and its application to hemovigilance

Key Points

• The research aims to develop a multiplex molecular assay for detecting malaria in blood donors and assess its utility for hemovigilance.
• Developed a multiplex molecular assay for malaria detection.
• Applied the assay to blood donor samples for hemovigilance purposes.
• Organized findings for presentation at the International Symposium on Immunobiologicals.
• Developed assay demonstrated effective detection of malaria-positive samples.
• Results may enhance blood safety standards and improve hemovigilance strategies.
