Abstract

Zika virus (ZIKV) can be sexually transmitted and replicative particles were first detected in a semen sample from a patient during the 2013-14 French Polynesia outbreak. Here we describe the virus isolation from semen of a patient returning to Italy from Brazil.

Keywords: Semen; Viral isolation; Zika virus.
