Overview

Logistic regression shows deaths from babesia significantly impact blood donor testing, suggesting climate factors also play a role.

Key Points

  • The number of deaths from babesia significantly influences blood donor testing requirements in select states.
  • Statistical analysis found that both temperature and precipitation significantly affected babesia cases from 2011-2020.
  • Logistic and multiple regression methods effectively assessed factors influencing babesia transmission and testing implications.
  • Findings underline the need for ongoing surveillance of babesia variables affecting transmission and testing protocols.
