Zika virus is mainly transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes, although mother-to-child and sexual transmission have also been described. The presence of Zika virus in semen after infection seems to be not uncommon, but the duration of viral persistence has not been well-determined.
Molecular, serological and cell culture methods were used for the diagnosis and follow up of a case of Zika virus infection imported from Venezuela. Serial samples of serum, urine and semen were analyzed to investigate the persistence of the Zika virus.
Zika virus was detected in semen samples up to 93 days after the onset of symptoms.
Our results confirm the persistence of Zika virus in semen samples for long periods after infection.
寨卡病毒主要通过受感染的伊蚊叮咬传播，不过母婴传播和性传播也有相关报道。感染后精液中出现寨卡病毒似乎并不罕见，但病毒持续存在的时间尚未明确确定。
采用分子、血清学和细胞培养方法对1例从委内瑞拉输入的寨卡病毒感染病例进行诊断和随访。对血清、尿液和精液的系列样本进行分析，以研究寨卡病毒的持续存在情况。
症状出现后长达93天，精液样本中均检测到寨卡病毒。
我们的结果证实了感染后寨卡病毒在精液样本中长时间持续存在。
