Zika virus disrupts the barrier structure and Absorption/Secretion functions of the epididymis in mice

5 Mar 2021

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have demonstrated that Zika virus (ZIKV) damages testis and leads to infertility in mice; however, the infection in the epididymis, another important organ of male reproductive health, has gained less attention. Previously, we detected lesions in the epididymis in interferon type I and II receptor knockout male mice during ZIKV infection. Herein, the pathogenesis of ZIKV in the epididymis was...
