Viruses and assisted reproductive technologies (ART)

Abstract

This comprehensive review reflects our current knowledge of viral infections in the context of assisted reproduction, highlighting the latest research and guidelines. It focuses on the major viral pathogens that have a significant impact on human reproduction. It examines their impact on both male and female reproductive systems, fertility outcomes, and pregnancy, with a particular emphasis on managing the risks of transmission in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). State-of-the-art screening protocols and preventive measures are outlined, highlighting the progress made in minimizing viral transmission and ensuring safe reproductive outcomes. By presenting the current landscape of viral management in reproductive health, this review underscores the need for continued vigilance, research, and innovation to face viral threats.
