Mosquitoes Not Needed to Sustain Outbreak
A population of men who have sex with men may have the ability to sustain a Zika virus outbreak sexually -- in the absence of any mosquito-transmitted disease and with only smaller pockets of outbreaks related to heterosexual transmission, researchers said.
A modelling study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences simulated sexual networks to see if Zika could be sustained without mosquitoes. Researchers constructed sexual contact networks with randomly assigned sexual orientations, and found that men who had sex with men formed an outbreak-sustaining core, with bisexual men passing the virus on to their woman partners, and only smaller outbreaks among the heterosexual population.
There was less danger in the heterosexual community, due to the improbable woman-to-man transmission of the virus. Researchers concluded that the potential for these sustained, silent outbreaks should raise alarms, especially since men may be less likely to get tested for Zika and infected men can sustain the virus in semen far longer that women do in body fluids.
