This study is aimed at assessing the safety of the blood supply in an established ZIKV transmission, and to inform ZIKV transmission prevention efforts from asymptomatic blood donors to uninfected populations by conducting surveillance of adult blood donors at a local blood bank in Brazil. The blood samples obtained from individual blood donors at the local blood bank will be screened for the presence of ZIKV.
