Inactivation of <scp>Z</scp>ika virus in plasma with amotosalen and ultraviolet <scp>A</scp> illumination

In this study we demonstrate that amotosalen combined with UVA light inactivates ZIKV in fresh-frozen plasma. This inactivation process is of particular interest to prevent plasma transfusion-transmitted ZIKV infections in areas such as French Polynesia, where several arboviruses are cocirculating.
