NEJM 353:451-459,516, Stramer,S.L.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Rapid implementation of a nucleic acid amplification test led to the prospective identification of 519 donors who were positive for West Nile virus RNA and the removal of more than 1000 potentially infectious related components from the blood supply of the Red Cross. No cases of transfusion-transmitted infection were confirmed among recipients of the tested blood.
