Persistence of Zika Virus in Semen After Acute Infection

NCT02733796 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2021-03-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a prospective observational laboratory evaluation of the persistence rate of zika virus (ZIKV) infection in semen by real-time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), and assessment of ZIKV replication-competence in semen by isolation of ZIKV. Evaluation of the persistence of ZIKV and its replication-competence in semen samples will increase the understanding of the risk of sexual transmission of ZIKV infection in the post-viremic phase in non-epidemic settings.
