• Social and environmental risk factors in the emergence of infectious diseases (2004, background): “Over 20% of such affected individuals also became infected with HIV 43 , and more recently, transmission of West Nile virus by blood transfusion and by organ transplantation has been reported 44, 45 .”
• Transmission cycles, host range, evolution and emergence of arboviral disease (2004, background): “However, differences in surveillance and the high incidence of human infection through blood transfusion, mother-to-foetus transmission, transmission in breast milk and by organ transplantation have caused major public health concerns [63] [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] .”
• Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control in Acute-Care Settings (2011, background): “They have led to the identification of new routes of infection transmission in health care settings and enhanced measures to improve patient safety (54, 150).”
