termed orchitis, and potentially impact male sterility, but the underlying mechanisms remain …

Zika virus (ZIKV) causes human testicular inflammation and alterations in sperm parameters
and causes testicular damage in mouse models. The involvement of individual immune cells …

During its global epidemic, Zika virus (ZIKV) attracted widespread attention due to its link
with various severe neurological symptoms and potential harm to male fertility. However, the …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a potential threat to male reproductive health but the mechanisms
underlying its influence on testes during ZIKV infection remain obscure. To address this …

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 …

Our previous studies have shown that Zika virus (ZIKV) replicates in human prostate cells,
suggesting that the prostate may serve as a long-term reservoir for virus transmission. Here …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a unique flavivirus with high tropism to the testes. ZIKV can persist in
human semen for months and can cause testicular damage in male mice. However, the …

Confirmed reports of Zika virus (ZIKV) in seminal fluid months after clearance of viremia
suggests that ZIKV can establish persistent infection in the seminiferous tubules, an immune …

Zika virus (ZIKV) persists in the semen of male patients, a first for flavivirus infection. Here,
we demonstrate that ZIKV can induce inflammation in the testis and epididymidis, but not in …

Zika virus (ZIKV) has been reported by several groups as an important virus causing
pathological damage in the male reproductive tract. ZIKV can infect and persist in testicular …
