Researchers confirm long persistence of Zika virus in semen and reveal its presence within spermatozoa
Researchers confirm long persistence of Zika virus in semen and reveal its presence within spermatozoa
Recent work has shown that Zika virus persists in semen for up to 6 months after infection.In a correspondence published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, the researchers, in addition to confirming its long persistence in semen (in this case for more than 130 days, i.e., over 4 months), reveal the presence of the virus even within spermatozoa.This work results from collaboration between researchers from Inserm, CNRS, and academic practitioners from University Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier and Toulouse University Hospital.

More evidence for Zika virus link to damage beyond microcephaly
More evidence for Zika virus link to damage beyond microcephaly
The mosquito-borne Zika virus can lead to extensive birth defects that go beyond microcephaly, a Brazilian study suggests.Researchers studied 11 babies diagnosed with Zika and found they had a range of neurological impairments including small skulls and brains as well as an underdeveloped cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for motor skills, and an absence of normal folds in the cerebral cortex, the gray matter that handles memory, language, social skills and problem solving."Microcephaly is not the only thing that happens with fetal Zika infection," said senior study author Dr. Amilcar Tanuri, a researcher in the laboratory of molecular virology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
