The risk of transfusion-transmitted malaria is a major concern in many countries. This study investigated the prevalence of malaria antibodies and parasitemia in eligible blood donors in Jiangsu, in Eastern China. Malaria antibodies were detected in 2.13% of the 704 plasma samples studied. We found that the prevalence of malaria antibodies was not significantly correlated with gender, occupation and frequency of donation, but it increased with age. No Plasmodium was observed in red blood cells and no Plasmodium DNA was detected in any of the antibody-positive samples. The prevalence of malaria antibodies was not higher than expected in Eastern China.
输血传播疟疾的风险在许多国家都是一个主要问题。本研究调查了中国东部江苏省符合条件的献血者中疟疾抗体和疟原虫血症的流行情况。在所研究的704份血浆样本中，2.13%检测到疟疾抗体。我们发现，疟疾抗体的流行率与性别、职业和献血频率无显著相关性，但随年龄增长而增加。红细胞中未观察到疟原虫，且在任何抗体阳性样本中均未检测到疟原虫DNA。中国东部疟疾抗体的流行率并不高于预期。
