The Cellular Impact of the ZIKA Virus on Male Reproductive Tract Immunology and Physiology

18 Apr 2020

Abstract excerpt

Zika virus (ZIKV) has been reported by several groups as an important virus causing pathological damage in the male reproductive tract. ZIKV can infect and persist in testicular somatic and germ cells, as well as spermatozoa, leading to cell death and testicular atrophy. ZIKV has also been detected in semen samples from ZIKV-infected patients. This has huge implications for human reproduction. Global scientific...
