ABSTRACT

Introduction: Disease outbreaks caused by Zika (ZIKV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses represent a public health problem for many tropical and subtropical countries.
Objective: To discuss the implications of finding ZIKV and CHIKV in semen, and their relationship to sexual transmission and male fertility.
Methods: A narrative review of the literature was carried out using articles indexed in PubMed (Medline), Embase and Scopus.
Information, Analysis and Synthesis: Although Aedes mosquitoes are the primary vector and transmit both viruses, sexual transmission is a significant route of infection for ZIKV and a possible alternate route for CHIKV. Spread of these arboviruses via lymphatic and blood routes contributes to infection of various tissues, including the male reproductive tract, where ZIKV may persist. Infection of the testes and probably of the accessory glands of the male reproductive system is associated with genitourinary symptoms or sperm alterations, related to the detection of the virus for long periods. Although there is no conclusive evidence of the presence of CHIKV in the male genital tract, it has been found in urine and semen. In addition, a possible persistence in macrophages that can infiltrate different peripheral tissues and function as reservoir has been suggested.
Conclusions: Zika and Chikungunya viruses can be present and persist in the male reproductive tract. Infection in semen is associated with sexual transmission of the virus and with alterations in the production and quality of spermatozoa, with serious clinical consequences in the sexual and reproductive health of infected men.
