Aedes aegypti mosquitoes harboring parasitic Zika virus (ZIKV) are the primary transmitters of virus to humans, potentially causing catastrophic congenital microcephaly in babies born to women bitten by infected mosquitoes.But confirmation earlier this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that ZIKV can also be sexually transmitted raised new alarm that virus could be passed between sexual partners in venues far from mosquito habitats.Now La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LJI) investigator Sujan Shresta, Ph.D., employs two different mouse models to confirm that live ZIKV placed directly in the vagina infects the mouse's reproductive tract, replicates, moves into the bloodstream, and causes clinical signs of disease.
