File photoROME, Jun 12Italian scientists are the first in the world to establish that the monkeypox virus can be contained in seminal fluid, said Francesco Vaia, director general of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani («Spallanzani»). «Our researchers are the first in the world to discover that the virus responsible for monkeypox, may be present in seminal fluid,» said the head of the famous research center.Doctors found out where the inhabitants of the Czech Republic could have contracted monkeypox In this regard, Vaiya recalled that virologists «even in difficult times said, including young people, that we can and should live a full life, but subject to safety conditions.» Spallanzani» notes that the monkeypox virus «may be present in the seminal fluid of a person infected with this disease, in a form capable of reproduction.» «The virus was isolated in the laboratories of the institute from seminal fluid taken from a patient six days after the onset of temperature, and in cell culture was able to infect and multiply in the laboratory,” the researchers point out. The presence of the monkeypox virus was detected in the seminal fluid of six of the seven patients in the clinic of the institute. Further research is underway related to «the persistence of the virus in semen and other biological materials in order to fully understand the mechanisms of transmission of this virus from person to person.» jpg» />Rospotrebnadzor gave recommendations on measures to be taken in case of detection of monkeypoxAccording to Spallanzani experts, their work will clarify many issues related to the hypothesis of sexual transmission of the monkeypox virus. According to the latest information from the World Health Organization (WHO), infection with monkeypox registered in 29 countries, in total, more than a thousand such cases have already been identified. However, no deaths have been recorded so far. According to WHO experts, the danger of the spread of this disease in non-endemic countries is real. Of particular concern is the risk of the virus spreading among vulnerable populations, including children and pregnant women. and DistributionInfographicView
