Abstract

Zika virus (ZIKV) is mostly mosquito borne but it can also be transmitted via the sexual route and persists in semen for a prolonged time. Moreover, viral RNA has been detected in breast milk, saliva, lacrimal fluids and urine, suggesting other possible transmission routes. The aim of our research is to better define ZIKV tropism.
