Powassan virus infects mouse testes and reveals a protective role for phagocytic cells

2026-07-18

Abstract excerpt

Powassan virus (POWV) is an emerging tick-borne orthoflavivirus with consistently increasing annual prevalence. Though understood as a vector-transmitted virus associated with neurological disease, a 2016 fatal case of an immune-compromised 63-year-old man reported testicular pain with postmortem detection of viral antigen in the testes suggested an altered tropism. The extent to which POWV can infect testes rema...
