Photochemical inactivation with amotosalen and long‐wavelength ultraviolet light of <i>Plasmodium</i> and <i>Babesia</i> in platelet and plasma components

Abstract

P. falciparum and B. microti were highly sensitive to inactivation by PCT. Pathogen inactivation approaches could reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted parasitic infections and avoid unnecessary donor exclusions.
