Zika virus replicates in the vagina of mice with intact interferon signaling

2022-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Zika virus (ZIKV) is unusual among flaviviruses in its ability to spread between humans through sexual contact, as well as by mosquitoes. Sexual transmission has the potential to change the epidemiology and geographic range of ZIKV compared to mosquito-borne transmission and potentially could produce distinct clinical manifestations, so it is important to understand the host mechanisms that cont...
