The threat of these EID agents to blood safety varies, due to different spreading patterns, transmission routes, epidemiologic characteristics, and endemic status; therefore, they need to be specifically evaluated in each country or area. Although no infection cases transmitted by transfusion have been reported, the existence of Brucella DNA in donors' plasma samples indicates potential risk of transfusion-transmitted brucellosis in endemic areas and warrants future investigation. Although no transfusion-transmitted HTLV infections have been reported, the surveillance of HTLV among blood donors and the evaluation of its impact on blood safety continue to be studied in China. ./cache/cord-273388-615acz0l.txt ./txt/cord-273388-615acz0l.txt
