Researchers publishing in the journal Nature have looked at the effects of Zika virus infection in mice and report that infection with certain strains was associated with damage to the testes of male mice, cell death and lower testosterone levels. read more
A group of researchers publishing in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal have applied modelling methods to examine the potential areas for future Zika virus outbreaks, based on air travel patterns from virus-affected areas and locations of the mosquito vector. They reported which countries in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region are vulnerable to the virus. read more
