This grant is for the critical purpose of implementing a comprehensive research test for Dengue Virus on all American Red Cross blood donations in Puerto Rico. Given that the Red Cross supplies approximately half of the island’s blood to hospitals annually, and Dengue is endemic with seasonal epidemics, this initiative is vital. The primary goals are to enhance blood safety by identifying and removing infected units from the supply, rigorously assess the current risk of Dengue transmission through transfusions, and collect robust data. This data will be instrumental in encouraging manufacturers to develop and license a widely available Dengue diagnostic test, ultimately safeguarding public health in Puerto Rico.

| Description: | Purpose: Funding will go towards a research test for Dengue Virus on all Red Cross blood donations in Puerto Rico. The American Red Cross collects and distributes approximately 77,000 whole blood collections each year from its Regional Blood Center in Puerto Rico, which represents about half the blood supply to hospitals. Dengue virus is endemic in Puerto Rico with seasonal epidemics occurring during the wet season (July –December). The purpose of the study will be to remove infected units from the blood supply, assess the risk of Dengue transmission by transfusion, and gather data that might be used to encourage a manufacturer to license a Dengue test in the future. |
