Ebola virus RNA can reside for months or years in semen of survivors of Ebola virus disease and is probably associated with increased risk for cryptic sexual transmission of the virus. A modified protocol resulted in increased detection of Ebola virus RNA in semen and improved disease surveillance.
埃博拉病毒RNA可在埃博拉病毒病幸存者的精液中存留数月或数年,可能与该病毒隐秘性传播风险增加有关。一种改良方案提高了精液中埃博拉病毒RNA的检测率,并改善了疾病监测。
