These are the four most significant arboviruses of concern, all spread through mosquito vectors.

Key Points: 
  • These are the four most significant arboviruses of concern, all spread through mosquito vectors.
  • With the dengue virus alone, there were more than 5 million cases and 5,000 deaths reported globally in 2023.1
    Further strengthening the Grifols Procleix portfolio for blood donor screening, the Procleix ArboPlex Assay uses plasma or serum samples to detect arboviral RNA.
  • Blood banks and collection centers could decide that deferrals are unnecessary if donors were tested and found negative using the Procleix ArboPlex Assay.
  • “With its 4-in-1 arbovirus test feature, the Grifols Procleix ArboPlex Assay has the ability to speed up and overall improve donor screening laboratory efficiency,” said Antonio Martínez, president of Grifols Diagnostic Business Unit.
