The government of Canada, through the Blood Borne Pathogens Division, Population and Public Health Branch of Health Canada has asked that the Association of Hemophilia Clinic Directors of Canada (AHCDC) to develop a method to look for known and emerging blood borne diseases. The project described here will establish a secure bank of samples to test for known blood borne infectious agents, and genetic changes causing or modifying the clotting disease and to be available for testing for newly discovered viruses and clotting gene changes as they are found.
