Replication of Zika Virus in Human Prostate Cells: A Potential Source of Sexually Transmitted Virus

21 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

Background: While Zika virus (ZIKV) is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes, numerous cases of sexual transmission have been reported during recent outbreaks. Little is known about which host cell types or entry factors aid in mediating this sexual transmission. Methods: In this study, we investigated ZIKV cell tropism by infecting 2 types of human prostate cells with 3 contemporary ZIKV isolates from persons...
